I was waiting for them to start trading cookie recipes.

 

i have a few really great ones if you’d like. I do a ton of baking.

 

The key to a fantastic, ooey-gooey cookie is to take them out about 5 minutes before the recipe says. Gotta let them rest like a steak.

Promise I haven’t gotten sick yet.

 

Not true! ATL Starbucks do “card only” quite frequently now. Just have cash? No coffee for you!

 

I'm sure Dave Ramsey is throwing a fit somewhere...

 

grifters gonna grift

 

Just do what everyone else does when they turn it to the channel with the view on....keep on flipping.

 

I hope it’s just a remodel and will open back up.

 

Same with no shame.

 

I've never understood this sentiment. You could have the best product in the world but if no one can buy and experience it, who really cares? I've been drinking Stumptown for years (grew up on the west coast) and I can honestly say that it's still the same quality, enjoyable coffee that I remember. As long as quality of the product and life for employees doesn't suffer, I don't have a problem with a producer "going corporate" (whatever that means) and making their product more widely available.

Never tried Beechers, gonna have to check it out next time I'm through SEA. Floret has always been my go to. Valentine in MKE was very good. Only got to try them once before covid shut everything down. Been through MKE a few times recently and it is still shuttered but the signage and equipment are still there so maybe they're gonna make a go of it again? Collectivo Coffee used to have a spot in MKE too but I haven't seen them recently. Another really good local roaster (MKE has a surprisingly solid coffee scene!)
