What's the best coffee on Farmington Ave.?

So who serves the best coffee on Farmington Ave.? Maybe the obvious choice is Tisane, but there's another contender nearby. Tangiers International, on the corner of Prospect and Farmington, serves a wide range of coffees and sells whole beans. When I say 'wide range' I don't mean espresso drinks with 31 different kinds of syrups available. Most notable is their Turkish coffee, which is hand-prepared, of course.



I have to tip my hat to Ted, for suggesting Tangiers. It's amazing I managed to write a whole paragraph about the place without mentioning their Falafel. The problem is that there's no question whether it's the best on Farmington Ave, the best in Hartford, and the best I've ever had. Pair the Falafel sandwich with the coffee and you're ready for anything afternoon can throw at you.

I friggin' love Tangiers. Aside from the Turkish Coffee (have you ever tried to make that stuff - hard even with the appropriate apparati), I love that every time I go in there I'm made to feel as though I have the most impecable taste on the planet.
