Never had it. I'll give it a whirl over the holidays.
Of course, a touch of this as well.
That's a little off topic though
No, not really.
It's cafe corretto; Italian espresso that is modified by adding grappa, an Italian liqueur or brandy. This results in a coffee beverage that provides a distinctive flavor sweetened by the addition of the alcohol.
Coffee corrected, indeed.
Starbucks is way over priced. I prefer to make my own brew.
they're all around San Antonio, and those ladies always look good, especially on the warmer days!
I'm told Kansas City, Mo has run off Chardyucks twice when 'Yucks tried pulling their invasion crap. Said KC has a ton of Mom n Pop owned shops that legitimately make great coffee, roast the beans on site etc. They don't take kindly to the corporate Hitler Chardyucks types. When Yucks tried pulling their bull the KC people told me two people a day went there. Packed up their bags and slithered off to some other town.
Freedom!!! (Braveheart)
Thought of this thread the minute I read the comics this morning.
The bold roast at Krispy Kreme on Austin Highway (before being demolished for a desparately needed bank branch) was excellent flavor and not too water-y, for an American coffee.
Jim's and Bill Miller coffee has a good flavor but it's classic American brown water, more like hot tea than coffee.
The tricked up "coffee" at Starbuck's makes me laugh. Good coffee stands on its own without all the junky additives that "connaisseurs" think they need.
Another good laugh is when I ask Starbuck's for "small black coffee". Typifies the Starbuck's bull when the staff has to figure out what a "smal black coffee" is.

Everyone on campus was so thrilled when they added two Starbucks. However, I find that the little coffee stand that is open year-round (the most popular and convenient SB is only open when classes are in full session, sucks for employees) makes a mocha with a shot of hazelnut and soy milk just the same as Starbucks and for less. And they are never busy when I go. Also make great kolaches.
Go figure.
Apparently the closure of Dunns Bros is temporary.
Details?
I don't know the exact details. Could be a managment issue or a problem with the store physically. I'm sure more information will be made available sooner than later.
Drove by today and there's a big ol' FOR LEASE sign up.
