The Roast House

The location is new. Some of the comments I read here is obviously regarding an old location of this business. Because their pictures don't match this location. I was awed seeing the generously huge space they provide to customer sittings. You almost don't need to worry about someone eavesdropping if you have some secret conversation :) The floor, tables and chairs are very clean. Decorations are minimum but that might be because they just moved here. The music in the background is really in the background. The speakers are far in the back. But because of the spacious effect, it doesn't feel much faded. It's soft to the ears but keeps your mood up. Perfect for you if you want to get some work done here alone or with a group. The coffee here is great. They are not shy of giving your a large dose of cacao for your Frappe - here I tasted the strongest cacao in a Frappe. The server is fast and nice. She doesn't flip the tip screen to suggest for a 15, 18 or 25% tips like you might see at some other coffee places. Overall, in this border town, this is one of the very few places you still feel you are in America.

I have been there twice. I go downtown to Casa Kevin to purchase arts and crafts materials during the morning hrs. First time I just "accidentally" parked on the opposite side of the street. Went in, bought cold iced coffee and an oatmeal cookie. Second time, I went just to get hot black coffee, bought another cookie. Coffee taste is EXCELLENT; the young man who takes care of customers, very nice, treats customers with a smile and RESPECT. VERY IMPORTANT when you deal with the public. I hope they put a better variety of pastries. The place is excellent for coffee and a chat during winter months.
