Thanks for the PJ's feedback -- I should add that I've never had espresso or espresso-based drinks (lattes, etc.) at PJ's...I've only had various brewed coffees, usually in a french press. There are very few coffeehouses where I've had espresso since so many places use sub-par espresso equipment or employ "baristas" who don't know their stuff (IMO).

Sorry to hear that about PJ's, but I'll be sure to try CC's on my next trip. Thanks.

Edited to add: Is CC's a coffee roaster as well? It seems like very few coffeehouses in most cities roast their own beans.
