Isabella's Coffee

A small coffee shop where XMR is a real checkout option. Isabella's Coffee sells certified-organic, Fair Trade beans that it says are tested for mold and mycotoxins: an espresso blend, a house blend and a Swiss-water-process decaf, from $17.99 a bag. At checkout, "Pay with Monero (XMR)" sits alongside Bitcoin, PayNYM and cards; it's a manual payment method, so expect payment instructions after you place the order rather than an in-page invoice. Monerica lists it in Food & Drink.

What you give up. You can check out as a guest, but coffee has to be shipped, so the shop gets an email or phone number and a delivery address; the store runs on Shopify, which also nudges you toward a Shop account (you can skip it). Use a forwarding address and an alias email if that matters to you. It ships to US addresses only (states and territories), and refund and shipping policies aren't published.

Why C. Running since late 2023 with no red flags, and the stakes are a bag of coffee, but we haven't completed an order and paid in XMR ourselves yet. That's the step that lifts it to B-.
