5 Days of Coffee-Bones Coffee Company: Flavored Coffee Taste Test

I came across Bones Coffee Company through an ad on Youtube. Normally I'm not a fan of scary things. For example, I don't really watch scary movies. If my husband attempts to purchase a t-shirt or any item of clothing that has a depiction of a skeleton or bones I always veto it. When I was teaching 1st grade, one of my students was telling me about a movie he watched over the weekend. When I asked him if I should watch it, he very seriously responded, "no, it's too scary for you. You wouldn't like it." He was probably right. : ) So, given that Bones Coffee Company is skeleton and bone-themed, you'd think I would steer clear of this coffee. However, the interesting flavors drew me in and I found myself purchasing the Five Sampler Pack. After great debate and consultation with my husband, we selected the following flavors...Here are our thoughts and ranking.  #5 Holy Cannoli            Medium Roast-Freshly Baked Cannoli (description from website) When it...

Which Huxdotter Coffee location is for you? North Bend, Renton or Auburn?

  I went to all of the Huxdotter Coffee locations.. and guess what? I love them all!!!! Huxdotter has solid coffee with seasonal specials, friendly baristas and food options galore. There is something for everyone. Read on to find the one that will meet your needs.  Huxdotter Coffee Cafe and Drive-Thru (North Bend, WA) Do you love hanging out at a coffee shop for awhile and having some relaxing coffee time? This location is for you. Huxdotter in North Bend feels is a gathering place for the locals. I was there around 11:30 on a Thursday and I did not expect it to be so busy. On a beautiful sunny summer day, all of the outdoor seats were full. Indoor there were multiple seating areas to accommodate both groups and solo coffee drinkers like myself. They even sell merch like coffee, sweatshirts and tumblers, which would make great gifts. I really wanted to buy some of the merch but I exercised some self-restraint this time. Huxdotter Cafe is a special place where you can meet up ...

Have you tried Vietnamese Coffee? Check out Coffeeholic House and Drip & Sip!

The first time I tried Vietnamese Coffee I was hooked! If you are a coffee lover like me, you definitely need to try it. You can make it at home with the right tools or check out a local shop.  Here are two coffee shops in Washington where you can enjoy some delicious Vietnamese Coffee. Coffeeholic House  (Bellevue, WA )  I was first introduced to Vietnamese Coffee at Coffeeholic House! The staff is super friendly and takes the time to explain the drinks and answer any questions you have. I get the Bac Siu, half sweet. They describe it as a lighter version of Vietnamese Coffee with less caffeine. It's so creamy, smooth and sweet without drowning out the coffee flavor. Coffeeholic House is located in old Bellevue and has a young, hip vibe with a huge beautiful mural where you can take your photo for social media. Seating is limited but there are a few seats inside and out. I've been here a few times, and the inside seating has always been full. It's a great place to grab y...
