Ozo is good
It’d been a while since I had been out east to visit Ozo (Arapahoe east of Foothills Pkwy). But seeing as how Ozo fans have been the most frequent commenters (next to Kelly Repassy lovers, but those have seemed to subside) to this little ol’ completely uninfluential* blog, I was feeling a visit was overdue.
What can I say? All good. I went out of my way to test the coffee, to take Ozo-loving commenters up on their challenges, and I walked away happy. I ordered a strong cappuccino (two shots in a 8oz cup) and it was dee’lish. No sourness or bitterness that we’ve complained about in other Allegro pours, so — sample size of two — Ozo has it dialed. The shop was well-attended even in the deadest part of the afternoon (3p), and the friendliness I wrote about in the Aug 07 post was pretty clearly still there.
Far as all this roaster controversy, what I’d like to get is all the Boulder-served roasts (Allegro, Boulder Organic, Brewing Mkt (?), Conscious, Kaladi, Illy [Radda serves it], SLC [Folsom St. serves it], and Solé) all served up in a line by Ozo baristas. Then we’d know. Or would we?
At any rate, props again to Ozo. If you were on my way to anything, I’d be there every damn day. Maybe you should buy out Trident’s space and move in?
*50-100 reads a day and over 11,000 reads since we brought it over to WordPress….we’re not sure if that’s a lot or not, but seems decent for a blog that’s solely about Boulder coffee shops
