Eastside Coffee Place

Someone commented that they think the Eastside should have a good coffee place!! I couldn't agree more!

Did you know that before the building on the corner of Milpas and Montecito became Wescom Credit Union (now gone) there was rumor that it was going to be a coffee house...supposedly a corporate one. Starbucks?? Coffee Bean?? Peet's?? Even though we liked Wescom very much we definitely mourned the fact that we remained without a decent coffee house! The building is empty again...hint hint.

Not to disrespect Jack's Bagels (we love Jack's!) or East Beach Cafe w/it's yummy Peet's brew & epic views...but where oh where are the Coffee Cat's on Milpas?

Come on, coffee houses! We need you!!

If anyone has recommendations for great coffee on the Eastside, please let us know!
