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?
Why: A Starting Thought Or Two
Life is fleeting and filtered through the sieve of your perception. Embrace the constant change to find some semblance of inner peace, or continue on suffering, searching for some “picture-perfect” ending to capture in vain that is always just out of reach. I’ve got something new in the works…
A Constellation Of Choices
People can do incredible things. They can think themselves to death and self-heal when on the brink of it. They can feel others’ indescribable pain and overcome their own. People can change the world, even if it is just their own, and that’s all that matters. We are a constellation of choices, choosing our consequences… Continue reading A Constellation Of Choices
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
A Deal For Thought (Part 15)
“Elizabeth, my heart will go on loving you for the rest of my days, but I’d trade them all up in a heartbeat just to share one more with you,” Buck says softly gazing out into the chilly sea beneath him. ~~~~ “Uh, sorry Captain, I didn’t quite catch that. Is everything alright?” The inquiring… Continue reading A Deal For Thought (Part 15)
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
Eddie and The Mr. E
Eddie fervently sniffs the ground beneath him with his quivering little nose as he scampers across the damp forest floor pursuing a particular smell. He cannot quite place its significance, but its allure is irresistible. It is almost laced with the nostalgia of freshly-fried beetles, just like his mother used to make. The rain is… Continue reading Eddie and The Mr. E
