Coffee Shop Treats

the perfect gift
uploaded from Perfect Blend

Reading CoffeeCat's Facebook page is making me hungry, so I thought I would share some of these coffee shop treats with you, plus a coffee road trip.

Simplyummy's Groupon deal runs Dec. 1. It's a deal you won't be able to resist. And try the new prosciutto breakfast panini.

Coffee Shop, Gift Shop: The Wet Whistle Co. offers gluten free and vegan products from Zen Cat Bakery, including pumpkin bread, fig cookie, triple ginger and lavender-lemon shortbread. Great stocking stuffers!

Not just for breakfast anymore! Krankies Airstream offers sandwiches made fresh by Camino Bakery, including homemade pimiento cheese, vidalia onions, tomato; brie, apple, arugula, balsamic-poppyseed vinaigrette; basil pesto, fresh mozzarella, tomatoes; and artichoke lemon tapenade, sweet peppers, sprouts, manchego cheese.

Why settle for a candy cane when you can have a peppermint affogato (two scoops of Homeland Creamery peppermint ice cream drowned by two shots of espresso) at Cafe Roche?
