I’m not sure I can still be your friend if you don’t find SOMETHING on this poster that makes you chuckle…

via Yee-Haw on etsy… although I can’t find this particular item for sale anymore - perhaps it’s sold out.

I’ve been having a trying week, for many reasons that I really don’t feel like getting into right now, but this morning I *really* needed some GOOD COFFEE.  I’ve tried every coffee serving establishment on the SFSU campus in the last two months, and I am sorry to say - they all kinda suck.  Cafe Rosso comes pretty close but… really?  That’s all you’ve got?

So, this morning Ryan recommended I just get something at Farley’s... *the* place to go in the good ol’ Po’ Hill area.  I’m a little wary of them, to be honest, because last time we went there Ryan ordered a decaf latte and it just tasted burnt.  (Supposedly it has to do with the decaf beans, or something, but who cares?  It shouldn’t taste burnt, I don’t care if the beans are ‘like that’ or not)

Anyway.  I thought I’d give them another try, as I was feeling a bit desperate for a good coffee.

I waited in line.

I ordered and paid.

I waited.

And waited.

And waited.

And watched two people who ordered after me pick up their drinks.

At which point I finally went up to the counter and rather loudly asked when I was going to get my double latte.

At which point the cashier said, ohhhhhh someone else must have picked up yours, we had three double lattes in a row…  we have another one coming up though!

(No apology.)

Thankfully the second guy who stole my latte was still standing right there and gave me ‘his’ (my) double latte.

Let’s just say it took 15 minutes for me to get my latte.

I am NOT PLEASED.

The only saving grace this morning, after waiting 15 minutes for a latte, plus sitting in an extra 15 minutes of traffic coming to work (because of construction) ….

The latte is damn good.

Sigh.  It would be so much easier to hate on them if it wasn’t.

Regardless: This is strike two for Farley’s in my book.

Dear readers - what do you think?  Is waiting 15 minutes for a fantastic latte worth it?

I’m decidedly… undecided.
