Thai Coffee Latte' - went back to buy a bottle
won't say it Tastes like Nirvana, but I did need a cold portable coffee
and with the Happiness in a Bottle bottle cap I was Happy 'n my tastebuds were happy too
plus was just the right amount of coffee to water to milk (powered or not)
I mean I did 'not' expect the taste of a true Thai Coffee made fresh

Natural Grocers - found all this fun, local coffee to try
brought home the Malk--never ever heard of it
nor Pecan Milk either (was fully caffeinated & did not expect that)
Plus brought a bag of Kicking Horse Coffee beans home to grind & try too

The Principal's Office at Ivy Wild School
lovely, memorable pourover from Sweet Bloom Roasters (from Denver)
with a cardamon scone combo
loved all the murals over the reclaimed old school walls
(esp the classic school bathrooms, but didn't snap pics in there--
only in this stairwell, where it was guess the country's costumes...)
