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!!

No coffee? No workee!!

This saying was on a paperweight (Picture below) that my husband bought for me recently. It is so true for me. Whenever I need to get some work done, I always want to do that work at a cafe/coffee shop. Today, I am working at the Day Break on 82nd and Quaker. They are in a moderately sized strip-mall type shopping center, so they have adequate to ample parking (depending on how busy they and nearby shops are). They have a good layout that allows for lots of table which range in size. There is a section that looks like it could function as a stage of sorts. You have to step up onto it and it accommodates about a half dozen tables and has 3 sets of electrical outlets, one of which already has a power strip plugged in. They play quiet music that sets a good atmosphere and there is some art on the wall. The atmosphere that they set is ideal for both working and conversation. They feature a flavored, light roast, dark roast, and decaf coffee each day. Any of the drinks made with coffee rather than espresso can be made with any of these. Today, I'm enjoying a cafe au lait made with snickeroo coffee. It has a really great flavor that makes me (typically a sugar and cream user) not need any sweetener at all, without being too sweet.
I found out while here that they are now owned by the same people that own J&B, so very soon, the punch cards will be good at both locations!! For now, the main thing I noticed was that I was able to get a Deborah Kaye's Organics amazing oatmeal cookie.
