Danny's Motor Oil at Coffee Co.
When it comes to getting a major jolt from a single cup of straight, black coffee, there's really nothing around town that gives you a bigger caffeine bang for a buck than a 12-ounce Styrofoam cup of "Danny's Motor Oil." And the only place to get a cuppa the stuff is at Coffee Company Incorporated, a Lakewood-area coffee roaster and market that's been roasting coffee since 1971. Which, if you know your coffee history, means Coffee Co. has been browning beans for folks as long as Starbucks, but Coffee Co. isn't a "coffee shop" in the modern Starbucks sense of the word. With only a couple of chairs up front near the shop's fire-engine red Probat roaster, the closet-sized shop is more a coffee roaster and retailer than a hangout. And the shop's hours of operation (10 a.m. to 7 p.m. most days) mean that you'll have to grab your early morning fix elsewhere. Danny's Motor Oil is named for the shop's roaster and co-owner Danny Furr who—using the shop's fresh-roasted beans—brews the coffee up as black as night.
