   Absolutely top-notch roastery, and not just for Lawrence. Z's has roasted the best beans I have ever had. I am always in the market for new beans, new roasts, and new brews when I travel, but Z's coffee amazes me every time I come back to Lawrence.
   Mark Zwahl's lighter roasts preserve the complex flavors and textures of the coffee, while his fastidious choice of beans prove their worth as their characteristics evolve through the roasting process.
   His Central and South American beans are perfect for those who like milder beans and blends but still politely ask for complexity and fresh roasts. However, Z's truly stands out with the intense African and South Pacific coffees, which can be so hard to predict.
   If you prefer a morning coffee experience likened to indulging in a Clos des Papes Chat paired only with the appropriate Riedel Sommelier stemware, then you shouldn't go anywhere else for your beans.
