Dreary, rainy Sunday morning latte. It’s less latte art than it is a Rorschach test. #coffee #coffeesky

A top down view of a latte with questionable latte art. The cup sits on a slightly askew blue and white striped placemat. An upside down LL Bean catalog slides in from the top.

We Are Happy To Serve You Still my favorite NYC cup #coffee #coffeesky #newyorkcity

A classic “We Are Happy To Serve You” Greek diner cup (ceramic though, not paper) holds moka pot espresso with some dubious latte art. In the background are three pump bottles of Torani syrup, a metal milk pitcher and an Encore grinder. Also containers of nutmeg and cinnamon.

@taurean.bryant.land Hey, I noticed you have a number of feeds called “coffee nerds” - what’s the difference between them and is there one that’s preferable to the others? Thanks!

So a month ago the “feels like” was -26°. Two weeks ago we had 20” of snow. Today it feels like 71° and all the snow is gone. I am so ready for spring!

Good grief! Peanuts is 75 years old today. And it’s the start of Great Pumpkin season.

Linus stands by a large pumpkin in a pumpkin patch. He’s leaning in the pumpkin with a dreamy look on his face, holding a sign that reads “Welcome Great Pumpkin”

Happy May The Fourth to those who celebrate! It’s my birthday as well and we celebrated with a Blue Milk Espresso, as one does. And a fun little walk at the sea wall. #coffee #maythefourth #dogs #labradors #beaches

A blue milk iced espresso in a clear plastic take-out glass. The espressso sits on top of the blue milk. There is a “Drowsy Whaler” sticker on the glass and a tip jar to the right.

The blue milk espresso sits on a picnic table with a slice of lemon pound cake to its right. A grey wooden picket fence is in the background and behind that is the sea wall and the sound.

A woman with reddish hair and a purple cardigan sits at a picnic table on sandy ground drinking a latte. A black lab in front of her looks expectantly at the camera. In the background is a grey picket fence and behind that is the sea wall.

A black lab sits in front of a seated man wearing reddish shorts and holding a pup cup. The dog is ready to dive in.

The LA Philharmonic at Coachella was surprisingly good. A mix of classical, movie scores and guest artists. And who would have thought that LA Phil with LL Cool J would be the highlight of my evening? Rock the bells.
