Favorite drink: Cortado w/ oat milk

Favorite drink:
A pour-over of any Seasonal Select or Limited Reserve coffee
“As a shameless coffee nerd, I like picking out the nuances in flavors between beans of different farms and processing methods.”
Favorite pastry: Morning Glory muffin (vegan & gluten-free)
“I’m vegan and gluten-free too, and I love carrots – so much that once when I was younger, I got that orange tint in my skin from eating too much beta-carotene.”
Serj
Favorite drink: A black cup of Bitches Brew
“When I first started drinking coffee, I always thought that coffee was something of an acquired taste.” Since he didn’t know anything about coffee, he thought he’d start from square one.
“I thought to myself, ‘what would a lumberjack drink after chopping down some trees?’ …The darker coffees I found, the more I liked them. So when I tried Bitches Brew, that was perfect.”
Favorite pastry: Banana bread (vegan)
“Even though I don’t like a lot of sweet things, the banana bread is my favorite because I like to remember back in the day when I was in high school I used to have an ex-girlfriend that would always make me banana bread.”
