Althouse is a bit off.

For some reason, I find this mistake hilarious.

ndspinelli म्हणाले...: Good enough for government work.; १२/८/११, १०:१२ AM
Curious George म्हणाले...: You really should find some coffee houses that serve Alterra Coffee. First, it's a WI company (Milwaukee). Intellegensia is out of Chicago. Second, it's better.

Barriques in the Madison area serves it and also has whole bean sales.; १२/८/११, १०:२० AM
edutcher म्हणाले...: Intelligentsia?

That's not meant to draw the chi-chi crowd, is it?; १२/८/११, १०:२३ AM
gerry म्हणाले...: Metaphors/synonyms are close enough for coffee shop associations.; १२/८/११, १०:३१ AM
ndspinelli म्हणाले...: I was eating a black and white cookie[superb] from Barriques recently. A young man from NYC came running up to me on the square as I noshed. He blurted,"I'm from NYC..where did you get that black and white cookie, I've not had one since I left NY." He was so happy. Simple pleasures.; १२/८/११, १०:३९ AM
Pastafarian म्हणाले...: Were you a big Flavor Flav fan back in the day, Althouse?; १२/८/११, १०:४० AM

Chennaul म्हणाले...: That is funny but why?

Hey! Let's go to that coffee shop-Public Enemy!

Then later you're sittin' there wondering why you've been on the toilet all day....; १२/८/११, १०:४६ AM
chickelit म्हणाले...: Was that one of the cafes that threatened to poison you two?

wv = "infiend" A friend in greed is a friend infiend.; १२/८/११, १०:४८ AM
Carol_Herman म्हणाले...: My friend opened a Sweet and Savory Shop, locally. And, she carries Intelligentsia coffee. I had never heard of it, before!

But she was right. When I tasted it I saw that it was a really high quality delicious cup of coffee.

Now, why would any coffee shop ever want to be called "Public Enemy?" Did Edward G. Robinson own da' place?

At Sweet & Savory ... it's the homemade stuff that makes this a fantastic stop!; १२/८/११, १०:४८ AM

I'm not positive but I think that cookie and much of Barriques' bakery is also provided by Alterra...Alterra Bakery. Their bakery division is outstanding and is growing leaps and bounds.; १२/८/११, १०:५२ AM
chickelit म्हणाले...: @Carol_Herman: So odd how we both post comments using the word "friend" at the exact same moment in time.

I guess our commenstrual cycles have synched.; १२/८/११, १०:५९ AM
Irene म्हणाले...: I sometimes have Johnny Depp on the brain, and that makes me think of Public Enemy, too.; १२/८/११, १०:५९ AM
MadisonMan म्हणाले...: Barriques Iced Coffee is pretty blah, if you ask me. Indie Iced Coffee never disappoints. I think they also sell those black and white cookies -- I see them all over town. Had one once. Meh. The cookie was too cakey. I like my cookies to be crisp on the outside, and chewy on the inside.

But even though I like Indie Iced best, I usually get iced coffee at Union South because it's closer and cheaper. It's not always cold however.; १२/८/११, ११:१८ AM
prairie wind म्हणाले...: James Cagney was really scary in Public Enemy.; १२/८/११, ११:१८ AM
Chip S. म्हणाले...: Maybe in its prior incarnation the coffee shop was owned by a Republican, so among the Madison intelligentsia it was known as "Enemy of the People."; १२/८/११, ११:२६ AM
Ann Althouse म्हणाले...: "Were you a big Flavor Flav fan back in the day, Althouse?"

James Cagney.; १२/८/११, ११:४२ AM

I go to Barriques a lot. I think Intelligentsia is better.; १२/८/११, ११:४५ AM
अनामित म्हणाले...: Avoiding these kinds of mistakes is certainly one of the big reasons Mormons don't drink coffee.

We rarely if ever mistake the names of coffee houses.; १२/८/११, ११:५५ AM
Lava म्हणाले...: I went to this coffee house for the first time earlier this week. They had Peaberry as a "pour over." Having never had pour over coffee I ordered a medium....man, was it good.

It's not exactly in my usual travel pattern, but when I'm in the area, I'm going to give it another go.; १२/८/११, १२:०२ PM
traditionalguy म्हणाले...: If that is the first time old names were cross indexed in your mind, then just wait a few more years.

I call that Wisdom.; १२/८/११, १२:१९ PM
m stone म्हणाले...: Starbucks will do individual pour overs and French press for customers who request any coffee (packaged) in the store. They simply grind up the remainder for use in batches.

Not a well-known fact.; १२/८/११, १२:४९ PM
अनामित म्हणाले...: Who was the guy in the clamdiggers? Fare more silly looking than shorts.; १२/८/११, १२:५० PM
kurt mueller म्हणाले...: @Curious George and others: True that Intelligenstia is based in Chicago but i would note the company's founder and owner -- Doug Zell -- is a cheesehead from White Fish Bay who went to college at Madison. Does that make you feel any better?; १२/८/११, ३:०५ PM
Phil 314 म्हणाले...: The suggestion is "we're more than just coffee"

Which reminds me of the book I just read (on the advice of a sibling)
"A History of the World in 6 glasses"

It has a great review of coffee, its role in modernizing western civilization and the London Coffee Houses (which were decidedly more "than just coffee")

A good, fast read (one plane trip worth)

(PS: The "6 glasses" are beer, wine, spirits, coffee, tea and cola); १२/८/११, ३:०५ PM
Palladian म्हणाले...: Intelligentsia coffee is very good. There's a truck that parks weekday mornings near the building where I teach that serves it, and also makes excellent cappuccino and espresso.; १२/८/११, ६:५३ PM
Palladian म्हणाले...: The guy in the purple shirt and jeans has a nice backside.; १२/८/११, ६:५५ PM
Palladian म्हणाले...: Wait a minute, is that Meade?

Uh, forgive the previous piggish comment.; १२/८/११, ६:५५ PM
