You know what I like about Lakeside? Everything.
I live somewhere between New York and civilization, and Lakeside is a good in between spot where I can start the caffeination portion of my weekend. They have beans from all over (if you're into knowing every little detail about your source), a good selection of food options, an awesome setup and some pretty sweet art hanging around on the walls.
In addition to this, they like to try new and different things and they might have even exceeded my level of excitement when I recently asked them to make a London Fog. A while ago, in Canada, I tried this drink of steamed milk, Earl Grey and sweetener, and I was hooked. I'd forgotten about it until I saw an article about the drink's origins, at which point I decided to pick up a new hot beverage habit.
Not only were the people at LC willing to try out this little experiment, they took to researching the sitch so that they could perfect the tasty beverage without any poking or prodding from yours truly.
Amongst other things, Lakeside Coffee is a chill little place to get your day started...and I kinda like hauling ass through dairy fields to get there...it brings a much needed spot of happiness to the dull weekends one would normally spend in the Green Mountain State.
