"Which place in town do you feel has the best PIZZA?" 

Villa Palma won first place! Pizza Hut came in right underneath. 

Unfortunately, there were no votes for Little Ceasars or Domino's. This was definitely surprising to me that no one voted for Little Ceasars or Domino's at all.

Kind: Dark Colombian Supremo

Brand: La Crème Coffee & Tea

This weeks pick of coffee tasting, is the ever so rich and bold coffee made by La Crème Coffee & Tea. My flavor of choice was their Dark Colombian Supremo.

I just so happen to visit a wonderful coffee shop in the Dallas, Texas downtown area. Not but a block away from a Starbucks. So to my surprise this told me that this little whole in the wall coffee shop had to have something going right for it to still be up and running. Oh… They sure did!

I promise, I will get to the coffee part in a minute.

First, I just have to say the deserts in the glass case were incredible. From wonderful looking cup cakes and cookies, to delicious croissants and empanadas filling the shelf.

Ok, enough of the food and desert talk. Not only did this coffee shop have a great rustic atmosphere as if you stepped into an Australian coffee house. They even supplied a wonderful environment with the eclectic music and dim light in the area’s where you’d like to just sit and relax and absorb the relaxation. Just to get away from the city for an hour or two, and that I did.

Needless to say, I still wasn’t sure how their coffee would taste. So me being the cautious type, I ordered the medium blend coffee that they had written in chalk on their board above.

Of course, tasting the coffee first before adding any cream or sugar. I was so amazed by its rich boldness even for a medium blend. Not over powering of course.

That is something I always try to find in a coffee. Bold, but not the bitter taste that comes with it.

Unfortunately, as you probably already know it is hard to find that with out having to add a ton of cream and sugar with most coffees that are bold. Of course, basically defeating the entire purpose of having a nice strong coffee.

Well, this coffee even as a medium flavor hit the spot so perfectly. I only had to add a dash of cream and sugar to it, and it was amazing.

Take in mind I don’t use those words loosely as you know when it comes to tasting foods and coffee from restaurants or coffee shops.

This coffee had a very rich but bitter scent to it even for a medium coffee. But, the scent of the coffee definitely had me fooled when it came to actually tasting it. This is one coffee that tastes better than it smells. Now that did throw me for a loop.

I enjoyed this coffee so much, that I had to get a bag of the next step above the mild.

So of course I asked the lady behind the counter to recommend the next step above what I had just had to drink. She came out from around the counter and headed over to the self near the wall and handed me the Dark Colombian Supremo Coffee. When I saw the price of the coffee I thought. Wow, this is as much as Starbucks. I couldn’t help but to take a look at the grind once purchased. Oh my… You talk about a nice dark grind and a smooth texture. This coffee was the jackpot, I could tell already.

Like I say in many of my writings related to coffee. It’s like Christmas or that special birthday present you’ve always been wanting for. I couldn’t wait to get home the next day and put this one in the coffee maker.

That is exactly what I did, the day after I got home. I had my taste buds ready and my sniffer on alert for when the coffee maker would kick on in the morning.

I will put this very simply. Delicious! I thought the mild was amazing. But the Dark Colombian Supremo was unbeatable. Yes, this coffee was somewhat pricey although it was definitely worth every penny. I actually tested my family once when visiting. They were very surprised as coffee drinkers on how delicious it really was.

Would I recommend purchasing this coffee? Absolutely yes, if you are looking for a rich and bold coffee with very little bitterness, then this coffee is for you. The grind is one of the darkest I’ve seen as a matter of fact, for not having that bitter taste with it. If you are not sure if you’d like the Dark Colombian Supremo, go for the mild. I’m sure it will be to your liking.

My over all rating of this coffee as far as price and flavor. Both a thumbs up! It’s worth the price. For fragrance, I’d give it a thumbs down. Remember though, this coffee is a lot better than it smells. So that judgment won’t really count on this coffee. Oh, and in case you are wondering? The jolt of the caffeine in this coffee is very adequate as well. I would recommend this coffee as a fall or winter coffee though. It is a little to heavy for my taste in the heat of the summer time, unless it’s on ice with cream
