Moto-vation for Mallory


In the American culture, food and drink go with everything. We eat and drink at joyful occasions, during tearful times, in the midst of brainstorming sessions... It seems food is a factor in just about every aspect of our lives.

This story from The Enquirer's Cincinnati City Hall reporter,
Jane Prendergast, reveals food is a perfect paring with politics, too. Good to know the city's leader can get a good caffeine fix to lift the fog before he makes important decisions...

Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory’s bragging about a new O’Bryonville shop where he had coffee Tuesday. It’s called the Coffee Shop on Madison, and it’s been open just two weeks (March 28).
The shop’s claim to fame, other than the mayor drinking there: It’s the only place east of the Rocky Mountains to use beans roasted by Café Moto, a small San Diego company that roasts organic and Fair Trade beans. Coffee Shop on Madison owner Pat Wynne tasted some Café Moto coffee while on vacation and decided to use it.

"It’s just really smooth, with none of that kind of burnt aftertaste some coffees have," said barista Kathy Schmitz.

The shop also serves pastries and cookies made by local bakers and others from Zingerman’s Delicatessen in Ann Arbor, Mich. Schmitz and Elaine Potter also make sandwiches and toast bagels and English muffins.

The store, at 2030 Madison Road, sits between Hemptations and From the Ridiculous to the Sublime. It opens at 6:30 a.m. every day. They’re still figuring out consistent closing hours, but Schmitz says right now it’s usually open until at least 9 p.m.
