Panera Bread – Fenton, MI
Panera Bread Fenton, MI
Me: “Americano, small, for here please”
Server: “Sure, this time in English”
Me: “Okay?! Espresso w/ hot water, small, for here please”
Server: “Oh, that sounds much simpler”
Yeah, I guess I should have known what I was getting myself into by going to a Panera Bread in Fenton, Michigan. But that one took me back. They’ve got a mocha, latte, capuccino and espresso on the menu, but nobody knows how the hell to make an americano? Wow! Talk about missing Boulder.
Mountain Town Coffee
What is it with mountain towns…
The service sucks. At Cafe Sole in Carbondale, the atmosphere was great but the service was horrible. It’s like I’m putting you out to come in at 8am on a Saturday and order an americano. Is it that tough? I’m gonna tip you, don’t be a d@#k. You know, Summit County is the same. Because there’s only one or two shops, they feel like they can be horrible and we’ll just have to buy it. And of course, we will, because there’s got to be coffee.
I just miss Boulder. With the exception of just a few shops (mentioned throughout this blog), Boulder has great service, phenominal baristas and some of the most passionate coffee professionals throughout the US.
