Anyone else missing their favorite CAFÉ stops

[Tony]

Missing this place after rides. Beautiful location on K street, outdoor mall over looking the capital. Excellent pastries and coffee.

Also miss Peet's "Queen Ah-Mon" pastry, so good!

Coffee was always part of my rides. I miss them but I am saving a lot of money.

I usually spend about $15 a day a various coffee shops.

SiSi Caffe in Moraga, CA, owned and operated by a former Oakland Raiderette, is closed until further notice.....

I miss breakfast pastry in a big way. I plan to eat a pastry every day until forever when the C is no longer a threat.

Not drinking $4 coffee from a paper cup has been a good thing for the earth and for my wallet.

Such good laughs shared at the "midway coffee stop" during group rides!
Eager for those wonderful halcyon days to one day return to riding clubs.

I really miss coffee and pastry. My wallet and my belly don't though. French press and a toaster are pretty good substitutes.

I live a block one of the best coffee shops in the city and they've closed. It is a thriving one, so they'll most certainly survive, but I dont know if I will.

Now that they're moving bodies in NYC with forklifts... I'm gonna go with a "no"

Yep, really missing having a destination in mind for my rides. Oh also other people.

The Coffee Tree is our frequent ride java stop and LaPrima is my go to for home consumption. I miss the apres ride chatter at the shop, but we will be back for sure. Both shops are open for takeout and LaPrima ships for a flat rate of $5...just had 2# of Miscela Bar espresso roast beans delivered last week.

New York Post... really.

Well, fwiw, my coffee stops are mostly full service gas stations and country stores, and they're all still open. Definitely not as romantic as the coffee stops in other countries, but at least they're not locked down.

Edit: Dug this one out. There aren't too many places that can be rivaled for a coffee stop than on top of one of the four passes (all above 2000m) in the Sella Ronda loop in the Dolomites. This is on top of Passo Sella. (Sigh.)

Peet's locations in the Bay Area are still open. Domingo Peet's in Berkeley was open at 6:45 this morning. You can't go in, but have to order at the door and they give you your order when it's ready, or use the app and order ahead.

Maybe im just a "non essential" guy.

I almost never go out for coffee. Rarely go to the bar and tend to make most of my food at home.

The thing i really miss is hanging out with people, the coffee shop was just the conduit for that--so its not necessarily the coffee I miss...

When arranging group rides, my crew loves planning where we will enjoy delicious coffee halfway!
