Boulevard Coffee is yet another one of the businesses I frequent that doesn’t have a web page. Their coffee is always freshly roasted, and they have an excellent selection. My personal favorites are Boulevard Blend, a good crowd-pleasing medium blend, and Celebes, a dark-roast that may be too intense for some folks. They also have quite a selection of teas and there are always some very tempting desserts on display, but personally I just go for the coffee.
The shop interior is done in a very nice mission/arts & crafts style. Between the coffee, the beautiful interior, and the friendly staff, it’s a wonder I ever leave the building!

Grrr! Soma’s “Morning Rush” coffee cup holder uses a Cat Eye H-27 bracket, which (of course) is not the same bracket that came with my HL-350 headlight, which is the only Cat Eye headlight stocked by my LBS (Peak Adventures). So I searched the Cat Eye catalog for headlights that use the H-27 bracket (part #533-8591). A Google search for site:cateye.com 533-8591 returns 3 matching items:
- NC260/250 (special external battery, looks expensive);
- Stadium 3 (same problem as above);
- HL-500II (which is in fact mentioned on the Morning Rush page).
Peak Adventures is willing to special-order the light for me, but I found it in stock at City Bicycle Works (mid-town store) so I’ll just pick it up there.
I finally shot a few pictures of one of my bicycles, a KHS alite 2000, Ser# U91290239. (The KHS serial number decoder indicates that this frame was manufactured in December 1999.)
