KAFFE KLATCH


A few blocks south on Linden, folks with more time on their hands are ensconced at Esau’s booths and tables ready for a hearty breakfast. Restaurant owners Arti and Scott Stanley import and sell their own brand of gourmet coffee. Almost 10 years ago, a love of surfi ng took the couple to El Salvador, where they met a local surfer whose family owns four mountaintops of coffee near the Guatemalan border. A deal was struck to import a portion of this “strictly high grown” coffee as Esau’s own Café de El Salvador brand.

“It’s grown on top of a volcano, where the air is just right. High grown and central grown coffee is bitter,” says Scott. Customers can buy Café de El Salvador coffee beans at Esau’s or through the Internet. Scott sells about 60 to 80 pounds of coffee a month via the Internet.

Café Luna’s strong and full bodied drinks are from the organic, high altitude “shade” coffee of Costa Rica. Carolina Pierpont, who co-owns the Summerland café with her daughter Nicole, gets the coffee from her ex-husband Michael by way of his roasting company in Austin, Texas. The coffee queue stays long even though the morning sun is now high overhead.
