Being back in New Orleans suddenly to be with family, has made me grateful for only living a 5-hour-drive away...and for real coffee.At dinner Saturday night, my sister-in-law order a cup of coffee and when it was set on the table, the most amazing aroma drifted from the cup. And instantly, I was like “ah ha!” now that is something you can’t get in Birmingham. You can’t just order a cup of joe, even in the nicest restaurants, and get something as warm and delicious as a good cup of coffee and chicory like you do in NOLA.
Most restaurants in Birmingham, including Stitts’, serve Royal Cup coffee…yuck! Even most offices use Royal Cup because they are a big, local provider who can meet the demand and make it easy - forget taste! I guess they would be considered the equivalent to Community Coffee here in New Orleans, not that the two are anything alike.
But a good, thick cup of aromatic coffee - New Orleans style - is hard to beat and hard to come by outside the city.
I love a good cup of CDM coffee. And I love when you go to a nice dinner in NOLA and the coffee is brought out with cream that has been warmed. Perfection!
