Java Net Cafe
This place is long gone, but I used to love to come here back in the late 1990's. This was Java Net Cafe in Northampton, Massachusetts. They started out with these iMacs, and moved on to the more modern iMacs for internet use there. Their coffee was good, though I think Haymarket Cafe( right up the street) beats them in the coffee taste department. I wish they didn't close. Starbucks is right up the street, too and ya know how all the Yuppy's love that shitty, burned, old, stomac acid inducing, coffee. Hard to keep a cool place like this going under with "sheep" going to Starbucks. I used to love Starbucks, and still love their packaging of their products, and how they expanded into music and other areas. I just absolutely HATE their coffee. It's shit! I talked to a few coffee roaster dudes about this. They said it's because Starbucks no longer roasts and grinds on site. This means they sell product that gets old quickly as it is already ground when you buy it. I don't know how true this is, but I wish they would do a better quality control on their beans!
