I have been out of town for a couple weeks on business and was just checking Patch for some local news and saw that The Coffee House had made the final two. You really appreciate the customer service at Coffee House and the quality when you are running around airports and have to drink the "other guys" franchise blends. Hope Coffee House pulls it out! You have my vote and will always have my business when I am in town. Cant wait to get back.
