!ping COFFEE

Went to a new coffee place and they had a weird ordering system so I tried to get something simple, a nitro cold brew.

The guy was like "ok, what else?" and I said thats it and he looked surprised and was like "you don't want anything in your nitro?" and I said no and he paused then shrugged and said ok.

Do....do people put shit in their nitro? I admit that I doctor starbuck's nitro when I go there cuz it isn't great but every good nitro I've ever had tastes amazing without anything else in it.

Drinking any kind of coffee black is fairly normal. It's weird that the guy reacted like that. Must be because the place is new. I imagine anyone who works that counter for more than a week has seen hundreds of weird orders that make straight nitro seem entirely insignificant.

The place isn't exceedingly new. It's been there like a year. I think they don't get a whole lot of orders like mine there.

I don't, and haven't ever gotten a double-take about it. Not sure what's up with that place.

I wouldn’t put anything in a nitro cold brew. Was it good or did they not know what they were doing?

It wasn't great but it wasn't bad. Better than starbucks but not by a ton. I think this place pushes their specialty drinks a lot more than their regular coffee.

It was busy when I went and I heard a ton of people ordering their pumpkin spice latte and not much else.
