Finally, there's the coffee at this coffeehouse. According to the menu, Monkey Bean offers roughly 2,000 derivations of the standard cup -- and that's not counting the hot tea, cold tea, bubble tea, fruit juices, elixirs, weird things served out of pump bottles behind the counter and the ice-cream drinks. Costello and Rosewater get their beans from a small-batch roaster in Seattle called Tony's Coffee, and they're killers. Two large joes, straight up, and I couldn't blink for three hours.

And when you get right down to it, if the coffee at a coffeehouse is the last good reason you have for going there, you know you've probably found a good one.
