An early morning foray into Zanzibar's Coffee Adventure is an experience so familial, so warm and so welcoming that it wouldn't be surprising me to find the customers sipping lattes while wearing their jammies and slippers. It's that kind of place. Doting barristas beam good will through the morning fog and kindly cater to the bleary-eyed, caffeine-craving community that stumbles in. Enjoy a delicious breakfast or sugary snack with your cup of joe and take home a bag of your favorite beans.
