Ross and I hit up Verite this morning for coffee and a live KEXP performance by Sera Cahoone. I'd never been to the coffee place before but the cupcakes looked awesome, the coffee was might tasty, and the music was fun.

Sera Cahoone only played 4 songs - which was a bit of a bummer, but hitting Ross's house for OJ, eggs, and English muffins afterwards was a nice way to spend the additional time before work.

All in all, a great way to start a Friday morning.

Quoted: Vérite Coffee is a coffee shop in Seattle making delicious espresso drinks. Vérité Coffee is also the home of Cupcake Royale, Seattle's original cupcake bakery.

Holy crap. A SINGLE Large Java Frappuccino has 29 packets of sugar and the equivalent of 11 creamers?! Not that I drink those, mind you, but isn't that justa touch overkill?

So says Seth Godin. Don, can you confirm?

Ross and I took a walk up to this coffee shop a few blocks away from Blue Dot headquarters. It's sort of an odd location without much foot traffic but they serve Caffe Vita coffee (pretty darn good), have a beautiful space, wifi, and large works of art. The website states that they're going to start serving beer frin Georgetown Brewery and Rainier soon as well. That's enough to give it the nod to 5-stars for me.

Recommended.

Take that you close-minded caffeine hating heebs!

Oh, and I can be bribed to support your ideas, just buy me a coffee...
