Coffee has always been a part of the Explore Bistro but now a new independent barista is operating on the first floor of the bookstore.  Kieth Goode decided to bring his passion for coffee, organic, and eating healthy to the rest of us.  Hence Parallel 15, named after the bean belt around the world where coffee is grown.

Practicing the true art of the barista Kieth uses a fully manual espresso machine actually “pulling” the shot producing a cup with a superb crema on top.  He is quick to point out that it is not only the organic Allegro coffee but also the organic milk that makes the lattes so tasty. Muffins, scones, and cookies (all organic and vegan) are baked by Kelly Hart.

Stop by and say Hi.  Kieth is serving out of the front window bootlegger style from 6am weekdays for the early risers (10 am weekends) closing at 9pm. When the bookstore is open you can find him in the cozy back corner. Oh and did I mention he delivers. (970) 309-6883 Explore Booksellers 221 E. Main St. Aspen, Colorado.
