Zazzy'z Coffee House & Book Seller

Zazzy'z has Ollie's excellent coffee on tap and for home, although the latter may run low during peak demand.  Which is nearly always, because his blends and roasts often are spot-on in character while adapting to current crops.  The named blends always carry their themes, and matching changing tastes to these themes is good work.  The coffee availability is stretching out of the store-front to retailers with bricks and electrons.  If I still lived up here, I likely would have great things to say about the events often hosted here, from readings to drum circles to facial hair to gurning to politics...

Another great point: Zazzy'z is a successful local business incubator.  The yarn shop moved to much larger digs years ago and still is going strong.  Babycakes Cupcakery also has moved out for greater production.  Art work available rotates regularly.  So not only do the coffees come from reputable sources, but the building supports and grows the local economy.

Funky little coffee place that roasts their own beans.  Had the light roast Ethiopian, excellent!   Located in an old Victorian era home, you can wander around browsing while drinking your coffee.   Had some regional interest books, and gift items to purchase.  The food looked promising, I was only there for coffee though.

So glad to have a place like this in the small town of Abingdon.  All the food I've tried there is great.  Workers are friendly, but not necessarily efficient. (I unfortunately got in line after the Sunday church crowd let out.  I was 8th in line, and the line did not move for 10 minutes! I like Zazzy's, but not that much to waste my time.)  The coffee is good.  Tea selection is great, when they have them.  A lovely atmosphere to spend an afternoon in.
