So which is it here? Or is it something else, something on a higher level of analogy and parallel? But what is higher? Maybe it's lower on the spectrum, more primitive, subtle. Dead people walk like the living here and the living can die but not really die if parameters provide. Deals can be struck with so-called deities, but the proof of their status as such is highly questionable. What do they mean exactly?

So, question:
Are there any places here that specialize in different kinds of coffee? If so, name them, and if not, I guess I'll have to settle for a cafe for the time being. Granted, they have their charms, but I'll be the first to admit I'm on the spoiled side when it comes to my daily dose of caffeine.
