You know how I love coffee. That one wonderful cup in the morning.
This morning I receive a text from a colleague who’s teaching art in a different school this year.
He texted where to come for coffee in East Liberty. Zeke’s. Huh? I couldn’t picture it in my mind.
Zeke’s Coffee on Penn Ave at Highland Ave. Only 1.5 miles from my home. I found it easily once I made the left turn onto Penn it was right there all the time.
And I’ve driven 50 feet from it several times a day and not turned down that particular block on my route.
Today was the first time I was introduced to the locally roasted delicious coffee. And they’ve been there since 2011!
I bought two bags for friends and family to try and my car smelled like a roastery when I got home. Mmmmmm.
Owned by Chris and Tom (who were out at Farmers Market selling the full one pound bags of their beans that they roasted themselves) In fact that’s how they started at Farmers Market and now they go to NINE of them. ( I looked it up and there was no apostrophe in Farmers Market)
I met Brye the baker (wife of Chris) and Alex was the barista and operated the register. I asked if I could photograph them for the blog and they agreed. Steve and I plan to return in the morning when they open at 8.
Nice post Ruth. We are just back from going out and having a great cup of coffee. I loved your comment about the pesky apostrophe 🙂
beautiful – you have a mgiz post!
I’ll bet the coffee is delicious! Looks like a great find!
I love local places. Looks like a nice place. I’ll have to check it out.
sounds perfect and so authentic.
Suddenly I want coffee an that great smile of hers !
Now I want a cup of coffee but it’s too late in the day !
Looking good for happy coffee times ahead Ruth!
Thanks for your visit and good words on the blog, Patti. Their coffee is a stand-out.
A coffee shop that roasts its own beans is a real find, Ruth. Incredible that it was right there all along. As they say, better late than never.
What a find right in your own neighborhood! How I wish we had a local independent coffee shop…I would be an amazing customer to them.
