Bad Ass Coffee, Naples Fl

Bad Ass Coffee, Naples Fl, originally uploaded by captjoe06.

Down in Old Naples the Bad Ass Coffee Co serves up some decent Kona coffee. Of course in a town ruled by blue hairs there is the inevitable call to shut the place down due to it’s name.

Lighten up folks and get a sense of humor, would ya?

I love the fact that when you ask for an iced coffee they break out the ice cubes made out of coffee as to not dilute the product. That’s some cool ass shiznit!

Here it is, the newly reconstructed lobster cooker at Woodman’s. i must say that the masons that did the brick work did a great job. It’s very uniformly built.

George’s Kale Soup with Amadama Bread

Billy Scrobacz, skipper of the Fishing Vessel Toots, Pete Mondello and I returned to George’s Coffee Shop for some lunch fare.

It was just as good as the first time, and ridiculously cheap.

We’ll be back.

Oh, and by the way that’s Billy’s big banza in the picture, not mine. HA!

George’s Coffee Shop -I’ll Be Back

George’s Coffee shop represents everything that is right about Gloucester restaurants compared to the chain joints you find in 99% of the rest of the country. Founded in the early 1900’s and staying true to it’s roots the place oozes history. The food is actually very creative for an old school joint. Dean Salah who runs the place is on top of everything.

I got the Breakfast Cups which are crispy potato cups filled with scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese and bacon, with salsa and sour cream on the side. It also came with a choice of toast. I opted for the sweet bread and it was thick and delicious. As full as I was I would have made room for more of that bread.

The only thing surpassing the food and value was the five star service. Dean obviously runs a tight ship, but these girls were fantastic.  The girls working the floor must share tips because every time they walked by I had my coffee filled or asked if I needed anything or how was my meal. It was a different girl every time and they were all very pleasant and efficient, never looking overwhelmed, which at some places it drives me nuts. I’ll be back.
