Ever feel like black coffee in a Frappuccino world?

John Norberg

We recently got a great new coffee shop near our house.

On Saturday and Sunday mornings, there's a parade of cars driving out of our neighborhood and over to the coffee shop, where we all stand in line to place our orders.

"I'll have a grande cinnamon dolce Frappuccino and a cheese and marmite panini please."

"Oh, that sounds delicious. But I'm going to have a grande dulce de leche latte and a scone."

"Grande caramel macchiato and a muffin, grazie! Pronto per favore!"

"Two grande raspberry mocha Frappuccinos with extra raspberry and double mocha! And some passion cheesecake."

Waitress: "Yes sir, what can I get for you?"

Me: "Can I have a cup of black coffee and a piece of toast?"
