Tricera Coffee

In Charleston, SC., just down the road from a college, lowland – tidewater to me – fishing, and that church, yes, not far at all: Tricera Coffee.

I am guilty of “contempt prior to investigation,” because I never bothered to find out.

There was a menu item listed, breakfast burrito with New Mexico Chili, and I asked.

Not New Nexico Chili. Not the real deal. I am a snob, but I’ve spent enough time in the desert southwest to know – and appreciate – the difference.

Coffee was quite good. Points for art, craft, clean, well-lit space.

But hardcore western chili on the East Coast?
