Taking aback Tuesdays: Pour over at Starbucks

Didn't know it was available.. By Melitta.

Ceramic pour overs marketed through Seattle's Pike Place charm. The one that pushes our comfort for coffee: Starbucks.

New slow-bars coming to stores? Who knows.

Its Fall: ill go out and try this pumpkin spice latte. Inspiration.

Happy Espresso Adventures!

3 day love-in for all things coffee, tea, and cafe!

Fun Friday: Starbucks Tee

Seems like everyone and their mother have been writing about the Tee's that were released.

Celebrating their 40th Anniversary, Starbucks enlisted well-known designers Alexander Wang, Billy Reid, Sophie Theallet. (purchase here for $85.)

Designs with coffee splatter - tasteful or tasteless?
Your call.

ENJOY the WEEKEND!

Rooster Coffee House

The other day, as I was going in for some Elevens at Te Aro Roasted, I thought I saw Shawn and Andy talking outside of the shop. That made me think two things:
1) When was the last time I was up the hill towards Riverdale?
2) Remember the time when we zoomed down the hill in those little cars during a huge snowstorm, only to end up flipping and tumbling so hard and fast that it was quite scary.

Wait -- we're talking about Rooster.
Tooo long, as such I decided to check out their website.

Found this gem:
