I was walking through the shops area on Essex Street, Salem and saw a cute organic cafe called Cafe Valverde. I went in side and the staff was very helpful and nice. It was one of the best Mocha Lattes I have had in a long time. You can't compare them to the corporate monsters like Starbucks. One of my friends said it best, "The corporate rosters probably have a chemist sitting there with beakers making sure the chemical make up of the product is just perfect." I have been back a few times trying different things off the menu and I have been fully satisfied. It has a nice little area to sit inside or a small area outside where the fresh air can be enjoyed.
I was so excited to have a local roaster that I bought a bag of the dark roast for the house to use in a French Press. It smelled good in the bag but when it was made it had the hint of a burnt flavor and the scent of coffee that had been on the burner too long. I will stick with my coffee from Berkeley, Ca for the house. But for coffee around town, they are still my #1 choice.
