The Coffee Crisis is Over

Over the weekend I discovered that my local coffee shop is back in business! No longer is it Smoothie Brews, it is now known as Overlatte Cafe.  I have mixed emotions about this change, which of course I will be sharing with you.

I first noticed they were open Saturday morning on my way to Emma's soccer game.  I didn't stop because I was all ready running late (Shocking, I know!). The reason I was running late this particular time? Well, I had stopped at Starbucks to get my bean juice fix.  I seriously considering stopping at Overlatte on my way home but I was all ready too hopped up on the venti pumpkin spice latte. 

When we got home from the game, I decided to blog because I hadn't done any blogging for a couple of days. With my blog complete, I made the executive decision to lay down on the couch and relax for a bit.  For unknown reasons, I couldn't focus on sleep. I asked Emma if she wanted to run to Easton and use her birthday money.  She was game and off we went to Barnes and Noble with a pit stop at Overlatte Cafe.  Emma ordered a hot chocolate and I, my usual, a non-fat milky way with whip cream. I guess I should have been more specific about my order because they gave me my "usual" as a frozen bevereage rather than hot.  Not wanting to get off on the wrong foot, I didn't complain. 

I have been several times since then and everytime I have to be extrodinarily specific.  Despite the fact that I am overly specific, each and every time I pull up to the window they ask me again what I ordered and if I want skim milk.  Hello???  Doesn't non-fat in the coffee world mean skim milk?  They close the window and go to work and inevitably come back and ask if I want light or regular whip cream.  Honestly, does it matter?  What's the difference in a light whip cream?  Fifteen calories at best! Furthermore, focus on the important part; getting the coffee right. 

As of right now, I would give Overlatte Cafe a six in a scale of one to ten.  In due time they will get it right! Right now I am just bitter that I can't pull up and say to my favorite employees' Jake and Debbie, "I'll have my usual". This too shall pass.....
