You know, I was thinking pretty much along those

That's fine if you like espresso. Personally, I prefer drip coffee,
and the last time I was in Paradiso (some years ago), they only served
espresso. I only drink coffee once a week, on Saturday mornings, and
lately I've been getting it at University Amoco. I used to get it at
2nd Street, but they open too late, and they seem to have gotten lax
about cleaning the equipment. Nothing worse than coffee brewed in
equipment full of rancid oils.

2nd Street: The owner, while running a previous restaurant, was once
arrested while dumpster-diving for vegetables.

No schmear intended to anyone in FF-I haven't been to FF in 20 years, but
don't most of the 'Ru's stay away from coffee since it has a stimulant, or
have they joined the rest of the world in drinking coffee on a regular
basis?  

If they don't drink it, is there enough retail biz for Paradise to stay in
biz?  They must have low rent!

It's mostly Ru's in Paradiso.

Having to visit an Amoco gas station for coffee seems as dated as brewing
with a Mr. Coffee.  Must be hard finding with the mainstream amenities in
FF!

The Amoco station has Raja's Cup, among other things.

PS- have any frozen yogurt stores hit the area, or is everyone still eating
just the high butterfat ice cream that became popular 15 years ago?

There used to be a good one called Wooly's, but it went out of business.
