Starbucks. Venti organic latte. (Unless I'm watching my calories, then it's a tall.)

Chai latte....I've concluded that it is a perfect recovery drink. Well, according to me, that is.
My logic? Chocolate milk is supposed to be a great recovery drink. Milk and sugar with the antioxidant properties of chocolate. By that reasoning, I can justify my chai latte--milk and sugar with the antioxidant properties of tea, not to mention the effects of the spices.

Peets! Large Nonfat Latte please! Starbucks in a pinch. Local barista - I love Orchard Valley in Campbell. Palo Alto Roasting Co is good too.
I have become a coffee addict. It's a bad sign when you crave a latte instead of a LemonDrop

Peets for me!
Also have many local coffee shops. Jobob introduced a bunch of us to Mission Coffee Roasters and now that's my recovery bev provider after any AC Trail ride.

Soy chai latte, soy double-shot latte, or plain ol' black brewed coffee.
I don't know that I have a favorite place to get coffee, but I love Chocolati; they sell their own truffles and you just can't beat a coffee and a locally made truffle! MmmmmmmMMmmm!"If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson

10 Speed Coffee Shop Hood River OR
My local coffee shop is called 10 speed. It's the bestest. The owner, Brian, is a triathlete, rides a Trek Madone and also races cyclocross. They make very good lattes. They always use whole milk. Mmmmmmmmm.
He has old Tour de France photos on the wall, sculptures made out of bike parts and bar stools made with old rims and schwinn saddles.Living life like there's no tomorrow.

Peet's!
I dearly miss the Mexican Mochas at Royal Blend in Bend. It isn't the same since De Luca's bought 'em.

Why do I love them so? Claire & the gang make a mean Iced Coffee & flat white..Thier lunches are divine(couscous w veggies...and exotic dishes such as bagels w kangaroo..) as is thier homemade rocky road
We don't have Starbucks in Perth and would not go there even if we had one.
