I'm addicted to the *bucks and am also chronically late so although I love the ambience of a great coffee shop, it is not a luxury I am afforded. My coffee shops of late need a drive through. Enter MadHouse by my sons school.
I've even taken to the sandwiches. The Supermodel sandwich is amazing. Also love the Isle of Capri and crossiants. I've been pleasantly surprised by the "special" drinks. I've been offered a CookieMonster, Cake Batter and Red Velvet . . . Although I generally stick with my Carmel macchiato light, I've enjoyed other flavas.
For the occasional after school treat, Gibson gets a smoothie. It is green tea based so I appreciate the antioxidants in a treat. And they taste amazing. I just wish they had more flavors for the smoothies, although both Mango and Berry are enjoyable.
