Honey Vanilla Latte. Three beautiful words. There is a lot to love about Giant Coffee. The Honey Vanilla Latte is one of them. Creamy, sweet goodness. I've tried replicating it on several occasions, but Giant's HVL is some sort of magical elixir of the creamiest of dairy (which I'm pretty sure is purchased from a local farm) and Bob McClendon's honey. Coffee and chai are delicious and the pastries are tasty. The ambiance is awesome and the staff is super friendly.
On to my not-so-much list. On the food front, I've ordered the breakfast burrito two or three times but have never quite fallen for it. The prosciutto and eggs had the potential to be killer but didn't QUITE make it to that "I want to eat you for every meal" level. My other disappointment is that I don't find hanging out in Giant to be very comfortable. I know that it sounds kind of weird, but the bar stools are kind of awkward to sit on and the chairs just aren't... comfy. They are also kind of strange about charging for extra things like honey. This just seems weird considering the fact that they aren't all that cheap. At Lux, the coffee bar is full of free ad-ins (including McClendon's honey) and I love that.
So, Giant Coffee, I love you for your delicious coffee and chai concoctions but will probably continue to spend my hanging out time elsewhere.
