As followers of my other blog (Writing, Writing, Writing) know I am a little bit of a Starbucks fan. I go there A LOT. At school we go for breakfast every Friday and sometimes in the week after school to chill out. In the holidays I often go there and nurse a large mug of green tea for several hours whilst reading on my kindle or tapping away a new chapter on my laptop. I like Starbucks. I guess you could say I like the ambiance - I like the fact I can sit there for hours and there is never any pressure to leave. I especially like the High Barnet one as it has an upstairs section where you can sit quietly on the comfy chairs.
Today I was going in to school to do some work and had coordinated to meet a friend and colleague there as it is really miserable to be kicking around a large school on your own. We started the day with a walk to Bucks.
So, love for Starbucks aside - I'm not the world's biggest coffee fan. I don't think it really likes me as it can cause headaches, stomach aches and can make my temperature shoot up. Of course, this doesn't mean I NEVER have one - just not often. I had green tea bags with me so I didn't want to pay for what I could make myself. I asked the barrista if they had soy milk and they did so I thought I would try a soy latte.
The milk frothed up surprisingly well and whilst it was hot there was none of that usual soy flavour so distinct of the milk. Not a bad coffee in all and I have to say much nicer than one made with cow milk! And no side effects (although I did ask it to be made with only one shot to be safe).
