Good Coffee Shops in Fresno!

For you, I wanted to have a list up on The Fresnan, of the good coffee shops in Fresno, so you can know where to go if you’re new or find a new place to go if you’re getting bored of your current coffee place.

I compiled this list through suggestions, ratings and reviews on various sites, and firsthand knowledge. As far as I know, these are all local (best Starbucks or Dutch Brothers in Fresno is a whole other post).

So here we go, if you click the name it should take you to their Google map location:

I am sure there are other good coffee shops in Fresno, but these seem to be the best-rated among locals.

Please get out there and explore, see if you can make a new favorite. Feel free to comment on this post about the ones listed, or leave a comment on the one you feel should be on here.

Enjoy the caffeine!

P.S. I don’t want to leave out some good tea places as well:

P.S.S. Now that you have a resource for good Fresno coffee, look at good spots for Mexican food breakfasts in Fresno.

Punk Legends “X” In Fresno Saturday

It is not often Fresno gets a Saturday show from a genre-defining band. Legendary punk band, X, is playing Fulton 55 Saturday night.

There are (at the time of this posting) still tickets left, you can buy them on this website.

On the secondary market, there are tickets to other X shows in California, but I didn’t find much for Fresno.

There is a great write-up about it by Josh Tehee at the Fresno Bee, check it out.

I love this old Letterman appearance from X:

Hiking Fresno: Riverview Trail – Bluffs Loop

The Fresnan

We tend to forget that one of California’s biggest rivers is running alongside our NW border in Fresno.

I have been exploring the trails (such as they are) below the bluffs and it’s pretty cool. They need a lot of work but you can access the SJ River in Fresno easy enough, if you really want it.

I went on a Fresno urban hike recently and took some video. This is part of the San Joaquin River Trail starting at the Riverview Trailhead:

I snuck me in a reward beer at the end at Eureka Burger. It’s worth going to for sure, you can go down to the SJ River or just wander around on the (I think previously private) property. Just a few walkers and people fishing is all you’ll find. This was my route:

(I forgot to stop the All Trails app when I drove around to Eureka Burger.)

It’s pretty funny with the elevation gains as you can clearly see when I went up and down the bluffs.

I plan to do a lot more urban hikes around Fresno once the Holidays are done, so keep an eye out.
