Turquoise Coffee offers worldwide organic brands of coffee from just about every corner of the planet. They take great pride in hand selecting their coffee to provide the best taste they can. You may come in or purchase their products online by the ground bag. Most brands are around $10 which is comparable to other premium coffee shops in the area.

Some of the brands they offer include coffees from the Americas, Pacific, Africa and Europe.

You might want to check out their website for additional information and brands.

A nice advantage to the establishment is that they are not only a coffee shop but also a café and a wine bar at night. This means they are three types of places in one. If you want to grab a cup of coffee and browse the Internet while you do work or homework you can. If you are hungry buy yourself something healthy or you can come in the evening and enjoy the wine bar.

Seating is available outside on the street, inside the café or on the bar. Both long tables for groups as well as smaller tables for individuals are available. The atmosphere is casual and the music is light enough so that you can have a great conversation without being drowned out. The employees are friendly and come back often to ask if you need anything. 

Coffee shops have an interesting history throughout the U.S. They were originally brought to places like New York and San Francisco by Italian immigrants. In the 1960’s other Americans copied the coffee shops and included folk music. Soon the counter culture brought the coffee shop its political activity. This political and artistic nature of the coffee shop can be traced back to its movement from the Ottoman Empire to Europe.
