@Megan – Unfortunately, I’m not a huge fan of the flavor of red velvet, so it’s hard for me to mentally pair it with Verona. It might be good! I would imagine something even sweeter or chocolately-er might be good too, but I think the red velvet would be great to try. Let us know how it works out. Welcome to the blog, and please ‘like’ the blog too!

Cafe Verona Dark K-cups by Starbucks for the Keruig brewing system is bitter and not at all enjoyable. Don’t know what they did but I prefer Tully’s french roast over the cafe verona. If possible, try before you buy.

My favorite coffee of all time! I actually used Verona to do a coffee tasting for my shift supervisor interview. I paired with homemade pumpkin chocolate chip cookies(my mother-in-law even used fresh pumpkins that year!) and British chocolates to demonstrate that you can enjoy Caffè Verona on the go or even when you can enjoy leisurely with chocolate delicacies.

I love Verona! I work at another coffeeshop, but I would drink Verona over anything we serve any day of the week. It’s a perfect dark roast without going over the bridge into burnination.

I had to laugh at the part that said old Jake O’Shaunessey’s was “long gone”
….as I remember eating/drinking there a couple times during my UW days (it was more known as a great Irish Whiskey Bar to go to for pre- and post- Seattle Coliseum events such as the Sonics games.)

Regarding the comments regarding whole beans in So Cal….I have to say I hardly ever see any beans at stores that have an expiration date more than six month into the future. I was checking out the supermarket this afternoon and most of those were 4 to 5 months. I wonder if there is a step off in quality between the Kent Roasting Facility and the one in Carson Valley, Nevada (where I assume the SoCal beans are source) I know the PPR I have purchased was roasted there when they had those dates in the beginning.

(@DeniseR, CD, Nathan, LatteRose, PamWestcott, Brendan206, Venti_Bold, and DG too!) – Thanks for so many great comments! This is a popular one, glad to see so many fans of it. And DG, I totally appreciate your thoughts too. I confess, I’ve never tried Verona as an espresso shot. It makes sense that it might be good for that too.

Verona is my absolute favorite. I wish Starbucks would start brewing it regularly again! And now, excuse me while I go hunt for some chocolate.
