I was thinking about my recent post about Pound, a new coffeehouse on the Hill. In particular, about the comparison with Peregrine Espresso. I have to admit something. It’s hard to admit and not something I like to talk about.

Peregrine‘s coffee isn’t as good as it used to be. It’s better than Waffle House or Denny’s or IHOP. But it’s otherwise no better than your average coffeehouse (though I’m talking about coffeehouses that do spend some time on their coffee; not the kind that primarily function as a gathering place for budding anarchists). Their cappucinos (I don’t normally drink lattes) are still the best around, but I’m not sure their coffee is still worth an extra trip. Or rather, I’m more likely to go a little ways down the street to either Pound or Port City Java.
