This post might be somewhat of a contradiction and I'm prepared to reap the consequences: this post is about coffee. My last post was about anti-coffee and how I'm giving it up.
Let me rephrase that, "I'm giving it up as a daily habit thing, but it's okay once in a while."
There.
And once in a while, I loooooooove to get some Baristas Coffee. Baristas Daily Grind has two locations in KS (Lansing, conveniently/dangerously walking distance from my house, and in Leavenworth by the Missouri bridge). The cute little huts are small but they pack a serious flavor punch, full of family hospitality and warmth. I usually go for the specials that they have on their chalkboards.
They have something for every season.
The last drink I got, that I suggest you try, is called Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Chai.
This concoction is vanilla chai, a shot of espresso, kahlua and cinnamon syrups. I haven't stopped dreaming about it since.
