Back in the day.....it was a Wednesday. In the student union at the good ol' Mo State we had one of these. It was good , but back then I was not as involved with coffee as I am now. :) So, I decided to try it out. First and foremost the atmosphere was spectacular. Relaxing, vibrant, and welcoming, and that was just the inside. They have an adorable little patio area outside with tables and the like facing Kirkwood road right next to the farmer's market. And with a day like today, who could resist basking in the sunshine out there.
Now for the coffee. I went for something different. Their special for the month is the Brown Sugar Rosemary Latte. A delightfully surprising blend of their signature espresso 700 with milk (soy for me of course) and sweetened by creating a homemade syrup of rich brown sugar and vanilla infused with a hint of rosemary. (direct quote from the super cool chalkboard menu). SO DELICIOUS!!!!! Very different than anything I have ever had. It was sweet yet savory and is still making my mouth water just thinking about it.
And because I just couldn't resist another bit of coffee after a shift at Charlotte, I had to go back and grab another drink. And of course the place was just as beautiful at night as it was during the day.
I really thought about just getting another brown sugar rosemary latte (was so close to doing it too), but in the spirit of my starbucks ban and trying to branch out to new things, I went with one of their coffee frappes instead. Chocolate mint! Okay so not a new flavor for me, but a new frappe blend I suppose. And again, Kaldi's hit the nail on the delicious head. AMAZING!!!! Chugged that sucker down!
Well, now that I'm fully caffeinated I suppose I should go be productive. Cheers everyone and enjoy your daily cup o' joe on me :)
