Dancing Goats Coffee Bar & Monday Night Brewing – Atlanta, GA

The folks at Monday Night Brewing are civic do-gooders who also do good beer along the way — including a coffee beer that lands squarely in this blog’s wheelhouse: “Tears of Our Enemies” made with locally-roasted Batdorf & Bronson coffee beans – which can be found in their Dancing Goats Coffee Bars – cool cafes around Atlanta.

Morgan’s Mill – Woodland, CA

Comfortable setting within historical masonry mill building where you can enjoy your choice of artisan coffee, craft beer, wine, waffles-to-die-for, live music and patio seating with the cup-rattling rumble of trains rolling past. Well worth making a right turn to Woodland on your trip from Sacramento to SF.
