Every neighborhood needs a good coffeeshop---sometimes two or three. And as of late November, the Golden Triangle's
Dazbog and
Metropolis Coffee have found competition in the new
Rooster & Moon Coffee Pub on Bannock Street.
The tucked-away shop specializes in organic java (
Allegro ) and tea (
Vail Mountain Coffee & Tea Co. ) and serves baked goods from City Bakery and made-to-order salads and sandwiches.
Even with winter tomatoes, the hot caprese sandwich---smeared with pesto and stacked with melted, fresh mozzarella and tomato slices---tastes robust. The Addison offers heartier bites, with roast turkey, Swiss cheese, honey mustard, lettuce, tomato, and a drizzle of virgin olive oil.
Bonus: Ample electrical outlets aside, the modern and sleek space doubles as a bar. So, take your pick---caffeine or alcohol---and belly up.
