| - Is it possible to have a crush on a coffeeshop?
This place is, by far, my favorite new discovery in ages. I've been driving past it on my way to and from work for ages but never had the time to stop in. I have friends who rave about the place and go regularly, so I really wanted to check it out. I finally did this past Saturday (5/31) and I scolded myself for not having done so sooner.
My friend and I found a parking space out back in the tiny parking lot and walked in not really knowing what to expect. One patron sat at a table with her laptop and the rest of the place was empty. The friendly girl at the counter took our orders and gave her own recommendations for cool drinks. I took her up on her suggestion of a peach smoothie. It was wonderful - like drinking pureed peaches! I took a sip of my friend's latte and knew I would be ordering one of my own at some point in the near future. Before taking our drinks, my eyes lingered over the cupcakes on display; I must admit I drooled a bit.
Because it was such a nice night, we sat outside and enjoyed our drinks. It wasn't long before more people showed up. A group of older folks joined us outside and a few other groups and couple settled inside. My mind kept going back to the cupcakes I saw earlier, and I ended up going inside to buy one. My choices were vanilla, red velvet, lemon, and strawberry (I think). Not only were the cupcakes quite sizeable, but they had sprinkles - goldfish and piggies! Very nice touch. I ended up selecting a vanilla funfetti cupcake with bright blue icing and goldfish sprinkles. It wasn't anything spectacular - just a cupcake made from a box cake mix - but it was a very nice treat and that much more special due to the fishies. I know - it doesn't take much to make me happy.
I've since been back twice and have used the very convenient drive-thru. The first time, the man who came out to greet me asked if I had my stamp card after he took my order. When I told him I didn't, he told me he would give me one, and he did - along with three stamps! that morning I had another peach smoothie and decided to try the red velvet cupcake. The smoothie was just as ood as the first, but this cupcake was VERY tasty - much better than the vanilla funfetti. I stopped again this morning and ordered a vanilla latte. That sucker far surpassed the vanilla lattes I usually get at Starbucks.
I love supporting local businesses, and I'm only too happy to return to Copper Star time and again. I suggest you do, too!
