There's nothing like a special coffee drink to rev up my day before getting to work downtown, and BeanThru is conveniently located on my commute.
The first time I went to BeanThru, I attempted to order an iced Caramel Macchiato, one of my regular drinks from Starbucks. The Barista told me they were out of caramel syrup and asked me if I wanted to try it with another flavoring. I decided to go with hazelnut flavoring and caramel drizzle. The drink was no disappointment - it really hit the spot! Definitely on the sweeter side, but that's what I was anticipating. The barista was friendly and apologized for being out of the syrup, but after tasting the drink I was glad they were!
I think it's so cute that they put a chocolate covered espresso bean on the lid of each drink. A really special/unique treat that I've not seen from other coffee places. Now that I know that BeanThru exists and is delicious I will be giving it more support than Starbucks.
