    Mexico are organic beans with floral tones of hibiscus that make for great aromatics. Assorted nutty light-body flavors are also complimentary in the cup.

    The only real difference between "for here" and "to go" is the additional charge you incur with "for here". Small-regular hot drinks are the only drinks that get a "for here" cup. So, just say "to go"

    The ice blended drinks here are way better than Starbucks (and I love Starbucks)! Try the "pure" versions for caffeine-free for the kiddos.

    Great selection of loose leaf sachet teas, wish they had straight oolong without the added flavors, though. I'd also vote for a darjeeling!

    Chris is the BEST! Try an Iced Americano w/ hazelnut and dark chocolate flavor. Oh and add a splash of soy milk or non dairy.

    Get the freshly made yogurt parfait (not in the case). It kicks the butt off Starbucks' premade parfait. Full of berries and yumminess!
