What local shops/roasters have you tried?

When I can, I tend to buy from Garden District Coffee. Everything from them just seems to taste fresh and clean.

I personally haven't been impressed with the flavor profiles of French Truck and Cafeciteaux Beans (and I think I've got most pour-over methods down to a science). Maybe I'm getting the wrong blends...

I haven't been able to try any of the newer shops in BR. I only come in once every year or so, and on the last trip I went to Light House (LINK /) and they were closed. It was in the afternoon and I guess they were on summer hours.
Looking at Garden District on Yelp (don't think they have a website), it looks like a second wave shop similar to CC's. If you ever see pump pots on the counter, it's generally a bad sign.
If you want to know more about 1st vs 2nd vs 3rd wave coffee shops, I'll write more.
