A few weeks ago I had dinner at Mayan Cafe before heading to Actors Theatre. The entire meal at Mayan Cafe was fantastic from start to finish and I’ll discuss it in more detail later. But do you know what part of the meal I keep replaying in my mind? The after dinner cup of Jackson’s Organic Coffee.
My love of coffee is of course no secret so it’s not really that surprising that I’d be enamored with a particularly good cup. However this cup was more than particularly good, it was perfect for the moment. It was bold and complex but not even remotely bitter and overpowering. It was the perfect note to end dinner on.
Jackson’s Organic Coffee is served at restaurants around town (well at least one restaurant, I’ll update this when I find out about its availability at other restaurants) and it’s available at several grocery stores. To get the full Jackson’s Organic Coffee experience though you should head to their tiny drive-thru only shop on Lexington Road. Cans of beans, cups of coffee and espresso drinks are all available from 6AM-6PM weekdays.
Obviously you have to judge a coffee company on the coffee they produce and I do, but let me also say that getting coffee at Jackson’s drive-thru is a quaint, enjoyable activity that you’d be hard pressed not to enjoy, even if they didn’t make great coffee.
