Well, friends, WE DID IT!! We completed the Adams
County Coffee Experience, and it was so much fun.
When I
made my 50 Before 50 list earlier this year, I made note that I wanted to do
some kind of coffee adventure. I kept the idea open-ended, because I wasn’t
sure what might work for us. I thought maybe we’d find a coffee flight or do a
coffee crawl on one of our vacations.
And
then…our very own county released the Coffee Experience passport, giving us a
chance to visit six different shops throughout the county, trying their coffee,
food (in some cases), and atmosphere!
I’ve
written about our fun along the way, but today I wanted to give my final report
on this adventure.
Our
first stop was Sorinna’s, and it was also the newest establishment on the
trail. It was our first time to go there, and for me, this stop won best food.
I had a cinnamon roll, and it was delicious.
Our
next stop was Oliver’s at the Brickhouse, and it won best ambience, mostly
because I’m a sucker for exposed brick walls and wooden floors.
My
favorite coffee (Ryan’s too) remains the Shaka Shack. This has forever been our
favorite coffee shop, and even though we had fun visiting all the other places,
the Shaka Shack still has our loyalty. We’ve never found anyplace that makes an
Americano like they do.
We had
been to the other three shops before, but we enjoyed visiting them again.
The Filling
Station has an amazing scotcharoo latte, but I didn’t have it on this visit. (I
ordered an Americano at each stop to keep my comparisons consistent.)
The
Java Bean had my favorite décor…this little Lego replica of Central Perk.
And our
final stop this past weekend was Alpine Rose in Berne. We ended up getting
breakfast for lunch, and it was good! I love their new giant coffee cup on their
building.
I took pictures
of our passport pages and submitted them to the visitor’s center, so we could
be entered in the drawing for completing the Coffee Experience. We aren’t known
for winning, so I don’t anticipate any kind of prize, but getting to enjoy
these coffee dates with Ryan WAS a win! Thanks, Adams County!
