Choose Your Caffeinated Poison

Tea Latte at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

The tea lattes at this chain coffee shop are awesome. They’re great if you’re not in the mood for coffee but still want a slightly sweet pick-me-up. My faves are the English Breakfast and the Moroccan Mint.

The Sensuous Bean - NY, NY

I take my coffee flavored and with honey and half and half. Yep, one of those weirdos that cafe employees get to know and love. Hazelnut with honey and half and half is the ultimate. HHH. Now add THAT to the periodic table of coffees…

Honey Vanilla Latte at Urth Caffe

I usually get this with soy milk instead of regular milk and it’s yummy as all hell. And it should be for costing as much as it does. But I guess I’m also paying for the grade A people watching and the possibility of a celeb sighting at this LA coffee shop.

Mocha Bianca at Caffe Strada

This cafe is in Berkeley, and I used to come here all the time when I was an undergrad. My fave drink is definitely the Mocha Bianca. Lord knows how many calories are in this thing but it’s SO GOOD.

Black, just plain and simple

Well, this IS my specialty. I prefer to support the local coffee shops here in Chicago. My fav is Cafe Deluca.
Just a simple black cup with a splash of soy milk has all the flavor I need. Plus, more caffeine that I inject myself with every hour or so.
