Coffee Shop (let's chat)

[Pearl]

I don't drink coffee either, but find that "going to the coffee" shop to be common social gathering place to meet with people and catch up on things. I used to have a group we went weekly to a local place to write papers together (work thing). Hey, the barista even recognized me-- I was the lady who always showed up Friday at 9 am, and ordered the keesh - and just the keesh (it was good!).

What is keesh? I never heard of it.

Good Q...

I gave up coffee decades ago...

(Must be almost on my own in North America...)

If it's not too noisy, Starbucks can be a good place for tea and for reading a book...

The Starbucks here is in our Market Place on the top level.

I stayed at Niagara Falls.

That is where you most likely did cross then, The Rainbow Bridge!

Beside being an example of my inability to spell, it's fantastic egg dish:
Quiche (Southern Egg Pie) Recipe

Ha, I have definitely heard of quiche but don't like it much.

Anyone here try Peet’s coffee? I see it at the supermarket, is it any good and which strength and flavor do you recommend?

Not heard of that one...

Up here there's Tim Horton's, Starbuck's and Seattle's Best.

I never heard of that one in the UK, but then again I don't buy real coffee just the instant stuff my husband likes. But I do like a decent cup of coffee when we're out.

Over here they hardly seem to know about the instant variety...

I don't particularly like instant. I have bought the real stuff but I don't drink enough of it to make it worth buying. At home I usually drink tea.

So do I...

What sort do you like. My tea of choice is Earl Grey, no milk or sugar.

Over here they call it Orange Pekoe; very basic; fine as long as it's wet...

I do like Earl Grey, too...

I use to drink instant when I was a kid because that’s what my parents drank, haven’t had instant in years, tea I don’t really care for, I have some sleep tea once in awhile to help me relax before I sleep.

I've tried special sleep tea but I don't like the taste. If I need something at bedtime I'll have a decaf Earl Grey or Camomile with peppermint because I don't like camomile on its own.

We have run out of our supply of sleep tea, it seems...

The one I drink is Sleepy Time extra it has Valeria, Chamomile and other teas, but to be honest it never makes me sleepy.
