Would not coffee smell as good by any other name?

Q: if you were given the job of naming a coffeehouse which would be the home of deep philosophical/theological/cultural discussions and superior expresso based beverages and teas, what would name it?

This topic came up once at dinner between myself and Alex Nay, and we started our list of names. Anybody want to add to the list?

(N.B. can you tell that we Alex and I are both philosophy majors?)

Bean and Essence

Potency to Bean

Bean there, Done that (Esse et Actum)

The Self-Espresso Being

Beanatific Vision

Q.E.D. Café

Aliquid of Coffee

Sed Contra Cappuccino

Phenomenological Flavors

That-Coffeehouse-Than-Which-No-Greater-Can-Be-Conceived

Café et Ratio

Cartesian Conclusions: I drink; therefore I am.

Still at this? If I recall, you've already left a large portion of the list you came up with that evening off your list here.

I maintain that coffee proves heaven exists, because there must be a Place where Coffee tastes as good as it smells.

I think you need to call it "the cave" and drinks will be identified by a shadow of the drink cast upon the wall.

how about "Holy Grounds" I saw that on a sign the other day and I thought it was very appropriate.
