You have to support your locally owned restaurants however you can, and I've been enjoying this coffee ($10.99 for 12 ounces of beans) for the past couple of days. It has both a "roasted on" and a "sell by" date on the bottom of the bag. It's a rich, but not over-roasted, blend which has, in its own words, "full round body with deep chocolate base and sweet-toned fruit." Cheers, Rocks.
