My favorite place to get coffee and a cookie is at . . .
the BANK!
Yes, our awesome neighborhood bank - Park Midway Bank - has a little coffee counter called Park Perks.
Lisa, the beautiful barista (and bank go-to gal) knows exactly what I want.
A small, skim latte and a chocolate chip cookie.
Lisa also makes the cookies. And they are yummy. Usually they're still hot.
And guess what? It only costs $2.00 for a latte and a cookie!
Even better - all the money goes to a non-profit group or charity (like the school band or local food shelf.)
Sadly, I've been having some stomach problems lately and I suspect it's due to an over-abundance of caffeine. So, I'm trying to cut way down.
When I went into the bank the other day, Lisa helped me out.
She put only one shot of espresso (instead of two) into my latte.
The way I reason it, that's less caffeine and no sugar in the latte. So there's room for a cookie!
Did I mention the cookies?
So, if you're in the neighborhood, and want a pick-me-up, stop by the bank.
You can get some coffee, a cookie, and they always have the right change.
Neat! I love how the money goes to charity, plus I love coffee and cookies. It would be a win-win for me!
