I was in New York City this past week where I kept bumping into Blue Bottle Coffee shops. I didn’t realize they had locations in NYC, as well as LA, SF, and Japan. Hearing good things, I thought I’d go in and try their cold brews to combat the scorching heat. First up: Bright On… Continue reading Blue Bottle Coffee Cold Brew Review: Bright Vs Bold

I’ve BEAN Busy (How To Roast Your Own Coffee)
Six days ago I made my own coffee for the first time. When I say “made,” I don’t just mean I brewed coffee in a French Press or used magical instant powder. I bought 4 1lb bags of un-roasted washed coffee from the Green Coffee Co. (I was not paid to do this, by the… Continue reading I’ve BEAN Busy (How To Roast Your Own Coffee)
Happy Goat Don’t Float My Boat (Review Of Coffee, Not Goats)
I went to Staples today and to my surprise there was a whole cafe tucked into the corner featuring all things Happy Goat Coffee Company-related. I figured I may as well give something a try and went for the Fall Special Apple Crisp Steamer. It had an extremely strong and pleasant cinnamon smell. Instantly I… Continue reading Happy Goat Don’t Float My Boat (Review Of Coffee, Not Goats)
Coca-Cola With Coffee… Why?
I was doing some research on different types of coffee (as one normally does at 7pm on a Thursday night) and I came across Coca-Cola with coffee as a thing. I couldn’t believe it until I went to the nearest grocery store and saw these concoctions for myself. So I picked up a Dark Blend… Continue reading Coca-Cola With Coffee… Why?
Salty Sweet Starbucks Treat: Salted Caramel Mocha Review
I went to a Starbucks at the mall by my house the other day and asked a barista if they could make me a salted caramel mocha. I had one about a week ago during a wedding from a niche little cafe/Starbucks pop-up in one of the most lavish hotels I have ever been to.… Continue reading Salty Sweet Starbucks Treat: Salted Caramel Mocha Review
Arlington Adventures: Flat White Review
Recently I stopped by a quaint little coffee shop in downtown Ottawa called the Arlington Five. It is a lovely tiny house that is far bigger on the inside. All the baristas are notably friendly here and mill about in good spirits. The floor is tiled, the overall aesthetic is a whimsical woodiness you would… Continue reading Arlington Adventures: Flat White Review
Minneapolis Mixtures: 7 Days Of Coffee (Day 7)
It’s my last day in Minnesota and I’m sad to go. I had a truly wonderful week here. I met lots of genuinely kind people and made countless connections that will last a lifetime. I experienced cool content at VeeCon from amazing panelists, ate surprisingly delicious food, enjoyed some wonderful coffee, and walked more than… Continue reading Minneapolis Mixtures: 7 Days Of Coffee (Day 7)
Minneapolis Mixtures: 7 Days Of Coffee (Day 6)
This was by far the best one to date: a perfect 10 out of 10 🙂 I’m so glad I got the chance to get a VeeFriends-themed latte art drink even after VeeCon had ended. My partner messaged the cafe on Twitter to ask if there was any hope in getting one, and there was!… Continue reading Minneapolis Mixtures: 7 Days Of Coffee (Day 6)
Minneapolis Mixtures: 7 Days Of Coffee (Day 5)
It was the last day of VeeCon and, once again, my partner and I woke up absurdly early to be the first ones in line to guarantee our chances of thanking Gary Vaynerchuk in person for the influence he’s had on our lives. However, it turned out that the gates today opened at 9 in… Continue reading Minneapolis Mixtures: 7 Days Of Coffee (Day 5)
Minneapolis Mixtures: 7 Days Of Coffee (Day 4)
Life really does imitate art, which in turn imitates life, which in turn… etc. I essentially ended up meeting the protagonist of my cat cafe story that I’m working on in real life! Her name happens to be Liz, exactly matching that of my main character, and she works in a night bar cafe called… Continue reading Minneapolis Mixtures: 7 Days Of Coffee (Day 4)
