I suppose that is why I gave Suzuki even more of my money so that I could buy a membership. With the membership card, I can get one refill each time I visit: so I can get a cup of premium coffee for $3.50, but I have to consume two! I hope my body can take all this caffeine. (I don't think it can.)<br /><br />Suzuki is a nice place to study in the mornings: spacious; well-lit; non-intrusive music.Wootang01https://www.blogger.com/profile/03761903155660593422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2251498261550268740.post-7856884376762328782011-03-06T11:05:20.385+08:002011-03-06T11:05:20.385+08:00wow I think that is a 7 dollar cup of coffee?

The best coffee I have had in the states was at a place called Cartel in Tempe while I was in grad school. The owner had his own roaster and he flew to Guatemala to personally meet the farmers and purchase the beans. It was fair trade on steroids.Miss Hattonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03476491623069452868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2251498261550268740.post-64463667315576291712011-03-06T11:02:05.228+08:002011-03-06T11:02:05.228+08:00I actually ate a lot of pizza when I was last in T...I actually ate a lot of pizza when I was last in Thailand.
