Gaelyn and I decided to get wild and hopped a plane up to Davis to go to a friend's baby shower. We stayed the night, and made a fun trip of it. The next day we rode metro bikes around Sacramento and checked out a couple different fancy coffee spots. This was the first, and where we ate breakfast. A wonderful spot downtown, but a bit on the North Eastern side. An easy bike ride and plenty of great options to eat. Plus the art for the beans is wonderful.
Handlebar Coffee Roasters
If you're at all like me, and every town you visit you try and find that local roaster or brewer. Something slightly unique that hasn't completely been wiped out by big chains. Then you've probably already found and been to Handlebar Coffee Roasters. Located in downtown Santa Barbara. It's one of my favorite spots, and a constant for my family and I when we're up that way visiting Grandma. They have an espresso "Milkshake". It's 8$ which is a bit steep, but it's pretty much the most amazing thing ever. Seriously... no joke.
