This morning's cup at Local 123 wins best drip of the week! Actually, possibly of the whole month (and I've drank a lot of drip this month). Their special drip, Don Mayo, comes from Costa Rica and is fantastic- very smooth and slightly sweet with a strong (but no overpowering) caramel buttery taste. I often find the taste changes as the coffee cools and towards the end of the cup there was also a nice earthy citrus. The best part was the clean finish. I also tried their apple caramelized ginger muffin which was standout, having all the best things about a homemade muffin- moist, with big pieces of chewy caramelized ginger. Also pictured here is my friend Kara's first Local 123 Latte with a shot of single-origin Sumatra, Dolok Sanggul, that Freida described as having notes of cheesecake and berry. Not sure how much cheesecake came through but Kara loved it.
