...serving up your daily dish.
From reader Nancy Mehegan, a neat search feature that illustrates just how ubiquitous Starbucks has become and helps you find the chain wherever you travel this summer. The feature must be helpful to (or perhaps inspired by?) this guy. Where will the caffeine chain land next? Bloomfield? Verona? Iraq?
Now that we have The Remedy in Bloomfield, who needs Starbucks anyway? My friend and I went there with her two children yesterday afternoon. They had iced teas and I had iced coffee. Delicious and reasonably priced (cheap by Starbucks' standards!). The teas had fresh mint leaves. They used liquid sugar in the coffee so it would blend and not sit on the bottom of the glass. Quiet, pleasant background music. ***EXTREMELY*** clean. We sat inside in the a/c but the outside brick patio looks lovely. The only thing I did not like were the placemats (so how picky is that?) because they were rough and if you (gasp, what would Martha Stewart say? And I DO care what Martha would say because her mother was my 6th grade teacher) wanted to rest your elbows on the table, it was uncomfortable. Very friendly woman at the counter. Later brought us samples of the hot coffee she was brewing. Will definitely go back.
