I don't think I've ever met a coffee house that I didn't like, but my favorite centers more around an experience rather than the coffee itself. My daughter, who likes coffee as much as I do (wonder where she got that?), is a missionary in Tuebingen, Germany. I've been blessed to visit her twice so far, and each time we spend every minute we can at sidewalk cafes/coffee shops in the Old Town - talking and reading while enjoying our favorite coffees. This experience takes the coffee house to a much higher level!<br /><br />Thank you for the opportunity to win Laurie's book. She is a wonderful author.<br /><br />cjarvis [at] bellsouth [dot] netCarolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02691366747122379190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-30054505340666970992013-08-16T06:30:21.708-04:002013-08-16T06:30:21.708-04:00I've never heard of putting an egg in coffee. ...I've never heard of putting an egg in coffee.

I first discovered my love of coffee houses with my best friend when I was 16. (I assure you that was quite a long time ago) I have forever since been addicted to them. I much prefer the mom and pop type over big name ones. I dream of one day owning a coffee shop/used bookstore with all types of eclectic clutter to decorate it. I can picture it now!<br />So crazy to think they started that long ago. They were few and far between back when I discovered them here.

I spent years doing that on small island in Caribbean. Last one I gave we had 35 ladies from 18 different countries, all living on a 10 x 12 mile island. We sang Silent Night in 8 languages. I enjoy writing reviews for other authors. <br />Barbara Anne Waite- Author Memoir "Elsie- Adventures of an Arizona Schoolteacher 1913-1916"Barbara Anne Waitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00315596391096525442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-88023123983303983032013-08-15T13:45:23.285-04:002013-08-15T13:45:23.285-04:00I like hazelnut-flavored coffee, Earl Grey tea (yu...I like hazelnut-flavored coffee, Earl Grey tea (yummy bergamot fragrance) and anywhere's fine for drinking them.

That was all we got for breakfast, so I now like it very strong and milky cafe au lait, basically a latte, which I also love. I do, however, also drink herb tea and green tea mint ice tea. Hot chocolate is a favorite nighttime drink in the winter, which we don't have here in TX, but I drink it anyway. Here I make it with Mexican chocolate and it's thick and rich and has a hint of innamon.

I DO love tea, both hot & cold - love iced tea just about any time with meals, but also enjoy hot tea while reading, or watching tv or a movie - along with a snack. I fix both at home - unless I am eating out at a restaurant. I also love hot chocolate, hot spiced cider, & stevia sweetened vitamin water. <br /><br />Thanks for the opportunity to win a copy of your book!<br /><br />bonnieroof60(at)yahoo(dot)com bontonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02852536941656729576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-63750390479207495192013-08-15T11:58:28.234-04:002013-08-15T11:58:28.234-04:00I don't like coffee (love the smell if not too...I don't like coffee (love the smell if not too strong), do like hot tea but LOVE hot chocolate.

And I rarely buy coffee in coffee shops, but make it at home myself - Gevalia Kaffe decaf only! (I'm a snob! lol I think it tastes the best - best balance and smoothest flavor) If I do buy coffee out, it's a special treat from Tim Horton's with double/double cream and sugar. At home I use powdered creamer and Truvia sweetener. I'm limited to one cup of decaf a day or else I won't sleep at night, but that's about enough for me, anyway.<br />Fun post about coffeehouses! I had no idea that they started so long ago and were so popular. Kind of feeds the idea about coffee being an addiction when you read of the uproar over the king closing coffeehouses! lol<br /><br />jimmynmatthewsmom [at] netzero [dot] comBethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04559934405090747046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-90656186740942321192013-08-15T08:49:09.182-04:002013-08-15T08:49:09.182-04:00Thank you for stopping by.
