Are coffee shops as big in the rest of the world as they are in LA? Ive become such a snob I can’t help but find comfort in a local coffee shop. The baristas call me Phil, ask me if I’m getting my large cold brew today. I say yes or the occasional no if I’ve had one elsewhere, that throws them off. What can I say, I’m a creature of habit! I think therefore I am? preposterous! I do the same things over and over therefore I am!
