The proprietors of the Good Coffee Company—located next to downtown’s Owl N’ Thistle, almost directly below the Starbucks on First and Marion—ought to put up a sandwich board that reads “The Good Coffee Company, right below the bad coffee company.” Owner Joseph Kittay and, more recently, his music-obsessed son, Carl, have been roasting beans in the neighborhood since 1971, and have a strong, loyal following. Want to be blown away by a freshly roasted, $10 pound of coffee? Wander in and shake them down. CHRIS KORNELIS 818 Post Ave., 622-5602
