Coffee Reviews for the
San Juan Islands Washington

Are you looking for coffee reviews so you can enjoy that perfect cup? Mmmmmm, coffee.... can you imagine that luscious smell? If you are a coffee lover you know that good coffee reviews are priceless. Well, if not priceless, they are at least as good as a couple pounds of coffee beans. That delicious aroma floating through the air.... Ahhhh!!

If you are a coffee lover, nothing else compares. You will, of course, want to know where to get good coffee when you are in the San Juan Islands, and that's where these coffee reviews come in.

Coffee reviews come naturally to me. I have to admit that I have measurable, verifiable expertise in this area. I've sampled coffee all across the Islands so that I would know exactly where to get that favorite drink, that perfect rich flavor, heaven in a mug.

Small aside: -- do you know how to create those pretty designs on top of your lattes that they make at the coffee shop? See some lovely and unusual latte art designs as well as coffee making tips and machine recommendations at yocoffeetech.com.

OK, first, it must be said that coffee in the San Juan Islands is plentiful. This is Washington state, afterall, less than two hours' drive from Seattle, home of a bazillion Starbucks coffee shops. Lots of coffee there, suffice it to say.

However, you may be wondering, what about Starbucks here in the Islands? Yes!, there are no Starbucks cafes anywhere!

Even so, you can get coffee almost anywhere you go. Including, believe it or not, the free cup at the grocery store to enjoy while you shop.

It's not my favorite coffee, however. (That's my first official coffee review.) Free grocery store coffee will satisfy a few but not many, so let's get to the coffee reviews. Don't just take my word for it, though. Try them, taste test, and contact me with a coffee reviews -- let me know what you think!
