I love going to coffee shops; I believe having a great drink can sometimes make or break a day! This is why it is so important that cafe employees relax and really concentrate when they are making each drink.Over the years, I have realized that I like certain drinks more at a particular place than another. So far, these are my evaluations:
I love having White Chocolate Mochas (I have these usually at Starbucks), Classic Mochas (I have these usually at Borders Bookstores), Caramel Machiatos (the drinks I have at Barnes and Nobles) and White Chocolate Academias (a special drink at a local coffee shop I get named The Neighborhood Cup). I would like to dedicate the next few lines to these ethereal drinks:
On Starbuck's website, the company describes White Chocolate Mochas as "Espresso with white chocolate flavored sauce and steamed milk. Topped with sweetened whipped cream."The calories are 470 for a Grande (medium size) cup. I sometimes (though this is unhealthy) have it instead of a meal!
Borders bookstore is served by Seattle's Best Coffee Shop. My favorite drink, the Classic Mocha, is described as "Chocolatey goodness added to a Seattle's Best latte" on the Seattle's Best Coffee Shop website and the drink has 360 calories for a medium-sized cup.
I'm not sure what it is about the Barnes & Noble's environment that makes me crave Caramel Macchiatos even though they serve Starbucks coffee.... I just don't feel for a white chocolate mocha there. On Starbuck's website the drink is described as "Freshly steamed milk with vanilla-flavored syrup, marked with espresso and finished with caramel sauce"; the medium size cup has 240 calories which is not that much compared to the pleasure you get from it.
And finally at one of my favorite local coffee shops called The Neighborhood Cup, White Chocolate Academia is described as "White Mocha flavored with Macadamia Nut syrup, topped with homemade whipped cream and chopped macadamia nuts" on its website. The exact number of calories is not mentioned but I am going to guess that it is 400+ for a medium-sized cup.
Try these drinks next time you stop by at these different coffee shops. You will not be disappointed!
