What have we been DOING since returning to Friday Harbor? The most enjoyable thing has been DRINKING GOOD COFFEE!
You may recall that we dubbed the prairie of SW Minnesota a 'Coffee Desert'. (see previous post here: http://mvvikingstar.blogspot.com/2014/02/in-desert.html)
An update on that situation: We now count 14 places where we can get espresso within a one-mile walking radius at Friday Harbor. A couple have closed in the past year, but we add two that we didn't know of previously. Friday Harbor is our coffee oasis!
It's funny how our favorite has changed every winter we spend in Friday Harbor. Actually it is the barista that we follow most loyally. Even within a location, taste can vary from barista to barista. Favorites from past years, Annie and Hannah are no longer serving espresso. This year our winner is Beth at the Rocky Bay Cafe.

Today when I asked her name and for permission to photograph her for the blog, I also asked how many times she gets called 'Elsa'. She says SOMEtimes little girls do, but she tells them she had the braid long before Elsa was known for hers.
I think this is the fourth time Beth has crafted my latte, and she has done a consistently excellent job!
Great now I NEED a latte! ~deneen~ <3
