Along 7th near the bike path there is a little coffee shop on the corner that would seem like a great little place to stop, get your coffee and be off to where ever it is you are going. In fact I did just that because it was on my way and seemed so convenient. I should have known better. It actually is not as easy as one might think if you were not on you bike or on foot, but that wasn't the problem. I went in hoping for a little perk me up in the afternoon with a little snack thinking that this might be just what the blood sugar ordered. When I ordered my coffee, I thought that it was poorly made. Made close to the specifications, but for the most part tasteless. I also ordered a couple of baked items which they were out of which relegated me to a muffin. I thought, "Muffins aren't a bad thing-" unless of course you are going to be slapped for twoonie and handed over a Costco Blueberry Muffin. Hello!? How could a cafe with all of the packaging of somewhere that had their act together get the important stuff so wrong? I don't know if I want to risk having to go back to see if they got it right. Maybe in time I can go back and try to see if they can make it up to me but for now I wll travel that extra block and a half to Main street and go to Gene, where they got the coffee to taste good and look pretty.
Out of the five cups of starch found in a single Costco Muffin
Scene: 1 No one was in there at the time which should have said something to me in the first place. Secondly the person who was working there looked as though she didn't even want to be there.
Grub: 1 No selection. No more with the Costco muffins.
Coffee: 1 It wasn't good. It just wasn't good.

This post is a lie. I and my co-workers go to Hermosa at least 3 times per week. They make the most amazing baked goods and sandwiches on site by hand every day and for a good price! The owner is very particular and wouldn't be caught dead with costco goods. And they have a wonderful variety! The coffee is good but not great. And they have excellent beans for sale as well. I think this post is a competitor making up dirt to turn people away. You're lying. This is the problem with sites where you can write any nonsense with no accountability.
Actually I am not a competitor. I am just a fan of coffee. I have been to Cafe Hermosa a couple of times since, in the hopes of having the coffee be a little bit different, and both times I felt that there really was not much change. I think this is a case of an agree to disagree.
As for the not being "caught dead with Costco goods" thing - guilty. Perhaps not always, but someone has definitely been caught with the hand in the 'Costco cookie jar' so to speak.
