Be prepared to get addicted. Coffee lovers beware. A friend of mine visited once and dropped $70 on CH in 72 hours. Purple haze and Vietnamese original are a couple of our faves. But you cant go wrong. Pro tip: to avoid the line ups, order ahead on their website.

Similar to Whole Foods when it comes to organic, high quality products. If you need to do bulk shopping, we recommend Safeway or Costco for a more economical choice. PCC is great for one off products.
