The one thing I miss most about my college town is the Mom & Pops coffee stores. that's right were Starbucks is despise and the walls aren't covered with shiny merchandise that needs to be sold. Crowfoot (located in Castle Rock) is just the remedy for such disillusionment. Here the signs are hand written, local art is shattered across the walls and 'different' music/soundtracks can be heard. Even the shop has it's regulars. The Ice Chi I ordered was a little on the watery side, but tasted much better than the burnt gram cracker stuff they serve in Starbucks. If anything towns need more independent coffee shops and restaurants so the next time you go out think about going to somewhere that's more real then Starbucks.
