Review: Bogart’s Coffee House, Seal Beach, California
The most spectacular thing about Bogart’s Coffee House is the view of the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island. Based near the foot of the Seal Beach Pier, Bogart’s is a convenient place for beach enthusiasts. It provides a comfortable spot to take a break and get something to eat and drink. Even people who do not go near the water will find it a great place to sit and watch.
Customers will find ample comfortable seating either at the tables or on the sofa and armchairs. They can also choose to drink their beverages on the benches in front to enjoy the ocean view. Inside, the twelve-foot high ceilings have decorative wooden beams and ceiling fans with blades shaped like flower petals.

A Day In the Life of the Impatient Coffee House Customer
It happens almost every morning in coffee spots across the U.S, maybe even around the world. It seems as though the entire city has lined up at your favorite coffee counter and they all get there before you. All you want is a nice hot cup of coffee before you make your drive to work. However, everybody in line in front of you wants one of those fancy coffee drinks that take longer to make.
You could drive through a McDonald’s or grab a cup at 7-Eleven, but you want your coffee from your place.

Firehouse Coffee Roaster and Tea Company, Bullhead City, Arizona, a Review
When you approach the Firehouse Coffee Roaster and Tea Company, you can smell the coffee before you open the door. That’s because the Firehouse is a real coffee roasting establishment and they roast their coffee on the premises. Owners Dana and Karen Kern are dedicated to producing the finest freshly roasted coffee, roasting each order as it’s received. They do not stockpile any roasted coffee to lie around and become stale but instead ship immediately.
Dana and Karen founded the original Firehouse Coffee Roaster and Tea Company in Bullhead City, Arizona in 2005. They wanted to provide the best possible coffees and espressos and so learned the art and science of coffee roasting. The company is named Firehouse because Dana is a veteran captain in the Bullhead City Fire Department. They are strong believers in the value of tradition and run their roasting company accordingly.
