I love visiting a good cafe. The problem is that around where I live the closest real cafe is about 20 minutes away. I do not go often, unless I plan to go on my way home from school. The upside of this is that I am saving a little bit of money by not going everyday and getting a decaf caramel latte (I miss Cafe O). The down side, I miss the experience, sitting at a table doing work and watching the people. There is less distractions and there is wonderful drinks.
How to solve the solution? Make my own wonderful drinks at home and set up a little area that can be a substitute. I’m sitting at it right now! It’s by two big windows in the corner of the living room, so I can have the option of two views. A cute little table to sit at. Ability to create my own drinks. This morning I’m having hazelnut coffee with crushed candy canes, chocolate milk, and a little bit of maple syrup (it might not sound tasty, but it is!). I also enjoy regular coffee with chocolate milk and maple syrup. If you have never had it you need to try it! At Cafe Jackman we also have a shelf dedicated to tea (mostly looseleaf). It has acquired more since my last picture (which is on Facebook, not my blog – where I thought it was. Unless you saw it on FB while I was still on FB [see Facebook Escape or Facebookless: 1 Week Already!] then you won’t know the difference.)
Jackman's Journey 
Sounds amazing! I am obsessed with coffee… have you tried roasting your own? It is easy, with a good ol' fashioned popcorn popper and some green beans, you'll be having the freshest coffee around! (I highly recomend it!) Another note, the “Hazelnut Coffee”, did you add the flavour, or where the beans flavoured? If the beans were flavoured, I would suggest adding your own flavour. Coffee roasters use lower quality (higher caffeine/older) beans when they add the flavour. If you use high quality, unflavoured beans, then add your own syrup (hazelnut, vanilla, cookie dough, Kahula, whatever), you get a much better tasting cup of coffee. If you roast your own green beans and buy a big bottle of syrup (they last forever: Monin, Torani, etc.), you can make even more amazing coffee for even cheaper! Then all you will need is an espresso maker….
Thanks Jordan! That sounds great. I haven't roasted my own coffee. It is flavoured coffee. Maybe over Christmas break I will try out some roasting of my own. Thanks for the idea!!
