$3.18 is a normal price for a quality cup of coffee. It's just like everything else, you get what you pay for. It's like smirnoff vs. grey goose. @joesmithrocks they use Intelligentsia coffee beans which are pretty high quality. Anyone who likes Astro, i would recommend trying Commonwealth in Birmingham if you are ever out that way. They actually roast their own beans in house.

Also Mercury Bar was in the wrong place at the wrong time when it was opened. The artsy kids you guys keep referring to will keep Astro in business, i'm not worried about it at all. Dai did it the right way and people down there are willing to support him.
