Red Rock Coffee + charitable causes + latte art = locals lovefest. My intrigue with Red Rock started with a killer latte and apricot bar on our inaugural visit to the neighboring coffee shop. Then I noticed their charity work to bring clean water to Ghana, and locals gathering to knit and network and bring their children to play. Plus, they’re open late on weeknights and weekends – making it a haven for open mic nights and after dinner nightcaps. Our weekends now include a post-gym visit for surprisingly rich nonfat lattes (with gorgeous foam swirls that are celebrated as art on the Red Rock blog). And they roast their own, as exclusive carriers of beans from around the world. Did I mention they have sleek design too? If this sounds like a highly caffeinated rant, it just might be: this morning we made their Nayarit Organic Medium Roast from Mexico.
