There Is A New Coffee Shop In Town.

The Coffee Studio is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful coffee shops I have been to. It is contemporary, chic and it is only two weeks old.

Unlike any coffee shops, The Coffee Studio only uses the quality ingredients in its drinks. What was the last time you see a coffee shop uses the organic milk as the regular and not an extra?

The owners, Miguel and Lee can not be more hospitable. I had a double pulled by Miguel, it was quite good, and it was better than some of the doubles I have had at my regular shop.

I like The Coffee Studio. I hope for those who visit my blog can find time to check it out. I am pretty sure that it will become your favorite coffee shop, too.

A Blog Filler (A Little Rant).

I was at a coffee shop getting some beans and a doppio (double espresso). There was a customer holding up the line with her endless coffee questions, one girl (a runner for that shift) was being helpful with that quizzing customer, and the cashier just looked back and forward the whole exchange. I was 3rd in line, and it stayed that way for the next good 5 minutes. Now the line was getting longer. I had seen this setting before, no biggie.

Alright, I was next. While the same cashier ringed up the person before me, a 3rd PBTC (person behind the counter) popped out of nowhere, “What can I get you?”

“I’ll have a pound of coffee and a double espresso.”

The cashier, “That will be $.25 extra”.

I mildly protested, “But, your other store will do it for even exchange. Ahh, forget it, just put it on my card.”

I didn’t have any singles, so I asked the cashier to break a five. She came back with some nonsense questions, so I asked again, “please break a five for me.” This same exchange went on one more time, and it ended with her rolling her eyes and said, “I heard you!” If you heard me, then why keep asking me some questions that made no sense?

Anyway, I tipped a dollar for the trouble.

In the end, I got a great double. It was a really good one in my recent memory. I like to think I tipped the barista who pulled me that shot...

Based on Ben Mezrich’s Bringing Down the House, and it is coming to the theaters near you next March. That gives you plenty of time to read this book, and its better sequel Busting Vegas.
