Espressos, Lattes, and Cappuccinos! Oh My!

As the Assistant Director of Admissions, I don’t sit in an office all day looking over applications and calling prospective students. I also go out on high school visits, college fairs, and to community events. When you spend as much time on the road as I do, you need a little pick me up (get your mind out of the gutter). For me, it’s coffee. I don’t drink it as much, but when I do, I go for the specialty coffees, your espressos, lattes, and cappuccinos.

I decided to compile a short list of places that I stop at when I need that little pick me up (quit laughing). Here is the list:

Starbucks: I get their Carmel Macchiato with skim milk. It tastes great, but it’s pricey. When I have extra cash, I’ll splurge and go to Starbucks.

Dunkin Donuts: I love their Carmel Latte. It’s reasonably priced, except in Chicago. Unfortunately, not all Dunkin Donuts are the same and each one makes them differently. Can’t they all just make them the same so I don’t have to repeat myself four times at 7:00 A.M. when I’m heading to a college fair the day after the CCSJ sporting event?

The coffee shop at the Portage Travel Plaza: I can’t remember the name of this place because I very rarely get out that way. But when I do, I always stop and get their Mocha Carmel Latte. It’s priced right and tastes great.

Granted, these are only my opinions and you may have your own favorite places to get coffee. Wherever you go, that one cup, or more for some of you, will help you get through the day.

Now, I wish there was a Tim Horton’s nearby. Looks like I’m road tripping to Toledo, Ohio.

P.S. Ryan Sexson, you still owe me a cup of coffee from last basketball season for that Judson game.
