Perhaps the most remarkable coffee house of the trip was Backstory Coffee in downtown Minneapolis. The space alone is unforgettable - a large renovated mill with soaring high ceilings. My cappuccino was also exceptional, prepared by Somali women in long, flowing robes. Apparently Somalia has a long history of making delicious coffee, mastering the art of seasoning it with spices like cardamom, cinnamon and ginger.
The place was fairly jaw dropping. I don’t remember what I got, but I liked it.
