Welcome to Adventures in Coffee
Welcome to a blog about my adventures as a coffee drinker. This blog explores my experiences (like a customer review) of various coffee related things. The types of things you might see on here include: coffee shops, coffee types/brands/flavors, coffee pots/brewers, and other coffee-related items such as mugs and travel mugs. I know that my tastes and preferences may not match yours, so if you've had the opposite experience of what I describe, please feel free to comment on a post!!

Arrogant Texan
I have to give high praise to The Arrogant Texan located in Lubbock, TX directly across University Avenue from the Texas Tech campus. They provide an atmosphere better than most coffee shops. They manage to combine a coffee shop, an ice cream shop, and a vintage candy store all in one. The tables are small with the types of chairs you see in old ice cream shops with the twisted metal backs. They provide free wifi with purchase (they do this by printing the network password on the receipt) and there is no limit to how long you can be online or how many devices. They almost always offer the option of having your drink brewed "piping hot or ready to drink." Their piping hot option is about the standard latte/cappuccino temperature, and their ready to drink option is a little cooler so it doesn't burn your tongue. They will let you try every single flavor of ice cream, in fact they even have a fun banter about trying to encourage this. Often times, they will write fun expressions on the recycled sleeves they put around the coffee cups. I have had their cappuccino with various flavorings in it and I have had their Arrogant Texan hot chocolate (which is spiced with cinnamon and other flavorings like Mexican hot cocoa). I haven't tried a single thing I didn't like!!

Fun! I'm sorry I have to miss this. Is it where Coffee Haus used to be or somewhere else?
ReplyDeleteIt is near the old Coffee Haus that closed, but is not in the same building. It is further North. You need to come back for a visit to check it out!! They have all my favorite old-time candies.
