I really love going to VK, although I have not been there for dinner; I do avoid weekends as the crowd IS often out the door. Coffee is a tough issue as everyone has his/her favorite. I roast my own, but that sounds fancier than it really is ( it does save money) Anyway for what it's worth, I like VKs coffee. I do think Starbucks is overroasted, over priced and tastes burnt. My feeling is that most folks who like Starbucks do not drink it black as I do and cream and sugar does wonders for bad coffee. Dunkin Donuts is variable and it shouldn't be. When it's good and fresh it's very very good...when it's been sitting around, it's horrid. Actually MacDonalds coffee is not bad and it is a good value.

Samiam's responses show what makes his restaurants successful...honest, informative but never nasty or defensive with a touch of humor.

I have nothing to do with any restaurant, but I did introduce myself once to Samiam (Bob).
