Fancy Coffee Shops

[Cohiba]

ummm, you need to book better places than that with ALL that's in Vegas now, lol.

I had friends that worked at the Nugget back in the 90's, lol.

There's this cool vibe...early in the morning...sitting close to the sidewalk on Fremont. I know...bums, pigeons, city workers cleaning street...but the vibe is there.



You can feel the day's excitement coming...poker,craps,blackjack...then a good lunch ..steam room and massage by a cutie at the Golden Nugget spa.

That evening a sports coat, great dinner, go see a show with the wife...smoke cigars and drinks some bourbon or tequila with the guys at a poker table or blackjack..

Next morning, wake up early...run to the Fremont casino to get some Dunkin donuts and back to Starbucks again....

Starbucks for the win....

Right or wrong...conservative or liberal... it's coffee and Starbucks to me is like meth to an addict...yes I wish it was cheaper but you only live once so drink good coffee,bourbon and tequila...life is short so enjoy.

Buy the beans and have them grind it and enjoy at home....

I like the Starbucks in Nichols Hills and 23rd Street in OKC...

My favorite Starbucks...

1. Golden Nugget on Fremont Street.

2. Santa Fe on the Plaza

3. On the East side of Albuquerque is Starbucks owned by a pueblo and it's nice.

Komodo Dragon or nothing!!!

Good to see you back online! Long time no see.

I have tried Starbucks, Black Rifle, Scooters, and my favorite is still OnCue House Blend.

I don’t think any of those places really serve fancy coffee, I would consider them to serve just okay coffee flavored drinks that are mostly sugar, milk and assorted flavors.

Fancy coffee to me is usually freshly roasted (either locally or regionally), made from coffee beans that were selected by the coffee roaster because of the particular region they were grown and even how the beans were processed. All so that particular flavors are brought out that are more than just the dark and sometime bitter coffee flavor that most people recognize as coffee. They don’t usually need anything added to make them enjoyable to sip.

Similar to drinking local craft beer versus a national craft beer or good old cheap American style lager. They all have their place.

Black Rifle Coffee Club in Moore was doing a veterans day giveaway -- i didnt capitalize on it that day for the same reason i never go to Dennys for a free birthday breakfast either, -- but i made a mental note to stop in next time i was in need of some coffee -- i do a cold brew with about a shot glass of heavy whipping cream in it , so not complicated and i usually take care of it at home , -- but i went in on the Thursday after Veterans Day to see what the fuss was about

As mentioned, not a complicated coffee order at all, but the place was nice -- i chuckled at the militaristic names they put on everything but it looked all in good fun - and the coffee was good.

Im single and trying to inhabit the dating scene while my Occasional Fiance and i work some things out - sadly one of the most popular first date meet n greets with the ladies is whatever Starbucks is closest in their AO, so i have had to darken the door of a couple of those in the past month --- the last nice lady i met beat me there and took the liberty of ordering for both of us -- pumpkin spice chai tea ! Mmmmmmmm goood

Again...nothing fancy!!! No flavored anything(just like my beer,bourbon&tequila) just coffee

Sumatra or Komodo Dragon...maybe a few cubes of ice to knock off the heat.

Cheers...

Dutch Bros was big in northern Idaho. I never cared for their coffee.

Dutch Brothers is all over the place in the Tulsa area, almost as many places as Scooter’s. I can’t say I’ve ever been to either, but I see a lot of Dutch Brothers cups with the parents at the soccer fields and their shop in Sapulpa always seems to be busy.

I like flavored coffee—specifically, I like coffee-flavored coffee.

I can’t afford yuppie coffee….

You guys must all be rich hippies.

Not rich (well thats a relative term) but I can afford a $6 coffee, I just haven't.

I can buy some if I want it- I thought I needed some while out one morning a while back and needed to pee to- whipped in a McDonalds and did the deal and thought- why not a senior coffee to go. $2 now- use to be 25 cents. We have a single cup maker cause that's what the old lady likes- I bust my rear looking for a good deal on those pods for her, but I have one of those baskets you use to just put coffee into and that way I can fill it as full as it will hold and run the 8 oz measure- makes it a little closer to night shift blend I learned to drink in my youth. I figure if I am buying my Folgers at a good deal, it's about 10 cents a cup. I had some time to kill one day, and it was near Baptist Hosp- there is a store over there named Pruett's. stopped and thought I would check it out- they had the large container of Folgers for $7.99- I bought a dozen, about a year's supply. I always make a cup and take with me cause even $2 McDonalds is too much for me.
