When I was in Fredericton recently, I was, of course, on the look out for good coffee. It didn’t take me long to find The Cedar Tree right on the main street, and I visited at least 3 times and got take away coffee too. Their cappucino was superb, and deserved a few minutes dedicated to enjoying it. I also tried a spicy mix was was superb. If I ever get back to Fredericton, The Cedar Tree will be a regular haunt again – great coffee and great people.

I’ll be posting all kinds of things about my recent trip to Fredericton, New Brunswick for the Harvest Jazz & Blues festival – and some of the posts will be about music! But I did sample several coffees there too. One of the street vendors was selling an assortment of food, which I didn’t try, but I had a cup of their coffee, which was very very good. A strong, robust coffee which certainly hit the spot. This is what they say:

Well, Mojobow to be precise. Local musician Lee Bates advertised this recently at a very good price so I jumped at the chance. It was waiting for me at home last night but as I was on my way out to play a gig (more later) I only had time to pick it up and gaze in wonder Video & audio clips will be forthcoming.
