Coffee shop review: Kunjani

I visit different coffee shops at least three times a week, and I thought I'd share my experiences with those out there who care! So, Kunjani is actually in Parker, and I go there frequently. Today, I had an Americano with an extra shot (my drink of choice), and then a cup of drip coffee. Kunjani is using Coda Coffee I believe, although they don't specifically advertise it on their website or in their store. Coda is a local roaster with some really awesome owners whom I met at the Barista competition a few weeks back. Anyway, Kunjani has several baristas who I recognize as having been there since they opened, which is nice because it gives some consistency to the service. Also, Sid, the manager, was there, and he always has a friendly face behind the counter. If you are into coffee shops for the ambience, this is definitely the place to visit, as there is some beautiful artwork, and is decorated with a rustic Italian theme that comes together well. However, I am never super impressed by the coffee. The americano had a good flavor, but the creme was nearly disappated when I received it. I chose the dark coffee for a refill, and it was missing a lot of flavor. My guess is that the coffee to water ratio was off.

The best thing about this shop is that it's local. My suggestion is to try anything local at least once, and my guess is that you will revisit Kunjani once you've experienced the shop. Although I'm a Miss Picky Pants when it comes to my coffee, I think you'll enjoy a drink from the espresso bar, and it's definitely worth the visit just to experience the gorgeous, homey feel of the store.

Oh, and thanks to Kunjani, parents at Renaissance Montessori Academy will be able to bid on free drinks at our silent auction coming up.... Thanks Kunjani!
