Tuesday Tidbits: COFFEE or TEA?



Are you a coffee drinker? Or a tea drinker? Or do you have another beverage of choice you prefer?

I love tea! I drink a variety of teas. I love chai tea, in all of its spicy goodness. But I don’t care for iced tea. I like mine hot.


Moving back to Washington State over a year ago, I noticed something they have here that I didn’t see in Colorado. I’m not sure what they’re officially called, but I refer to them as coffee sheds, because they serve “coffee” (as well as other beverages) and . . . well, are the size of a shed.

Just drive up to the window, order, and be on your way without ever getting out of the car. A fast and easy way to get your coffee or tea on your way to work or wherever you’re off to.  
They serve the usual beverage options.

Some of the sheds have drive-up windows on both sides. 
Others have room for only one drive up widow. 

While others have one drive-up and one walk-up. 

In just over a two mile stretch of where I live are five of these cute little buildings. Some within sight of each other.

And each one looks different. 


I love spotting them wherever I go. =0)
