One of my favorite types of coffeehouses are ones blooming deep in residential neighborhoods. There's something oddly appropriate about quality shops nestled in the thick of family dwellings; in my opinion, it puts the coffee in community.
On a recent trip through Morgantown, I found Quantum Bean Coffee, a coffee shop that seemed to really fit the mold of a community cafe. Anchored in the middle of suburbia and not far from WVU, Quantum occupies a slightly bland brownstone structure with a classy interior that is both cozy and vast.
As for coffee, they roast their own beans. The day of my visit, I ordered up an espresso of their Entanglement (house espresso blend) and a pour over of a single origin Ethiopian. The espresso, pulled short/medium with brown crema, smacked of hazelnut, vanilla, sugar cookie, raisin, malt, cherry and black tea, proving toothsome and deep with a nice pop of fruitiness. The pour over was also met with accolade, dishing out sweet notes of strawberry, wheat ale, fresh scone, mineral water, a little bran and some celery within a light body.
While I felt very much at home sitting at their communal bar, I sadly had to bid adieu to Quantum soon after polishing off my drinks. If you happen to be in the area or you're fortunate enough to live nearby, definitely make a stop at Quantum Bean Coffee.
These wonderful folks made this visit possible in part. Make sure to check them out!
