The people I travel with have been seeking out the occasional coffee - other than the pot or two they make each day, of course. Two outstanding places were the Kingsville Coffee Cup and Pleasant Perk in Pleasanton both in Texas. On this trip I have been latte deprived for days at a time so when they get near a place that is good and knows lattes, well, extra large for this Moose. Now, the Kingsville Coffee Cup was reviewed last year but not by me, so here is a good review. The thing to note is that it begins with the barista and the coffee and the water and the cup. Kingsville hits the grand slam on all of these, Bruce being the Coffee Artist. The Perk was also well done and had the added benefit of pastry, at Kingsville you had to go next door for fresh pastry. Oh the challenges of this life. One of the most special things about the coffee shop is that really neat, cool people get to meet me. Just think how their day improves with on cool, culinary Cadillac Moose encounter.

The Great British Baking Show will have to give me the nod here cause Paul Hollywood is English and they drink tea, egad. No contest here Paul.
