Behind The Bar At America's Best Coffee Shop Slideshow

Ultimo Coffee Bar.

A local comic book designer helped Ultimo put together the crest for Ultimo Coffee Bar.

Aaron Ultimo, the owner of Ultimo Coffee Bar.

Ultimo Coffee Bar has anywhere between three to five coffee roasts per month, including one "guest roaster." This month's guest roaster was Heart Roasters, from Portland, Ore.

The pour-over method at Ultimo.

The baristas at Ultimo label the coffee cups so they know what roast is in which cup. "LL" stands for Nueva Llusta, their Bolivian blend. LL Cool J on the mug is the baristas having a little fun, but also stands for "Ladies Love Cool J."

Everyone is pretty happy at Ultimo (even the dogs).
