    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!

    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.

    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.

    Not much of a coffee drinker but when I do get a hankerin' I go to Dunkin' Donuts for a Latte Lite (and a sour creme donut)

    The best chai in this town is from the Indian restaurant.

    I can't take Starbucks hipper than thou attitude.
    Why do they make ordering a cup of coffee so complicated?
    and why do they need to know my name?
    I always make something up. I think I was Frank Zappa last time I was there.
