Roast Coffee Company

Any time I am over in the UW-Milwaukee area of town I stop by Roast.  I remember that feeling when I found "my" coffee shop back in college, and if I had been at UWM I know that Roast would be my hangout.  It has that feel about it... the "I'm just an average college kid who is here to study because the library is too geeky, the union is too loud and the everywhere else is too expensive" vibe.  It has the perfect amount of sun and the decor is bright against the wood and brick building.  There is something about places like this that make me feel like the coffee shop is powering me with all knowledge of those who sat and sipped a cup of jo before me.   I don't know, I'm a coffee shop freak, so maybe you don't get that weird geeky "I belong in a romance movie about a famous writer" feeling like I do when I'm in places like Roast.

To piggyback on yesterday's posting Roast brews Anodyne coffee (yum!) and Rishi tea.  They have a pretty awesome selection of sandwiches and salads too.  Their menus features different items that are named after bands which I find quirky and fun.  Last but not least they have the friendliest staff and a ton of outlets.  If you are looking for a place with a good ambiance to plug in and chill out Roast is your place!
