It's kind of like a marine slowly walking through a mine field. Most places are pretty good about the way they make the drinks. I find that I enjoy discovering new places to have a good cup of coffee. A good coffee shop is a pleasure to the soul. You can relax, read one of the weekly papers that are stacked by the counter, or maybe read a chapter from one of the books laying around.
Coffee house are a mind expanding experience.
But that experience can turn to horror when the people working there don't know what they are doing. I have had, on several occasions, my drink order wrong. I have ordered a latte and gotten a cappuccino. But it is. They didn't make it right the first time.
