I have never liked really liked coffee.
That is, until I moved to New England.
Out here, you don't really have a choice in the matter. Everyone drinks it. Everyone. Even kids. Yes, I see children walking around with iced coffee drinks on a regular basis.
Not to mention, there is a Dunkin Donuts every 2 blocks.
I first noticed the coffee epidemic at my old job. Every single person was carrying coffee: in the morning, in the afternoon, into the building, on the elevator, in the executive building, during lunch, during break, even at the gym. Coffee was everywhere!
I decided I wanted to gain a better understanding of this whole "coffee" thing. Well, my inexperience became evident when I made the big mistake of ordering a LARGE iced coffee during lunch one day and went back to work. By 3:00, I felt like I needed to run around the building a dozen times in order to get the jitters out and prevent myself from crawling out of my skin.
I tried it again (a small this time) and really enjoyed it.
The rest is history.
Now, I'm a coffee junkie. (Iced only please). I love it. From Dunkin Donuts. From Starbucks. Homemade. Especially from cute little local coffee shops. Love. Love. Love. Oh, and I really love it from Mr. Ruby's French Press. Mmm. Mmm.
My favorite? Iced blueberry coffee from my FAVORITEST local coffee shop. Last week, I seriously had a meltdown in the middle of the coffee shop when they told me it was a seasonal flavor. I think I even teared up a little.
What can I say? Now I'm a believer.
P.S. HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!!!

I LOVE iced coffee in the summer! SO GOOD! I just wish it was as easy to make in my office as regular coffee is :)
omgilovecoffeesomuch. Welcome to the wonderful world :) Dunkin is definitely the best, be sure to try the hazelnut, yum!!
I really havent gotten into coffee! Ive gotten a couple of the seasonal hot coffees at Starbucks... but I live in AZ so maybe I should start trying the iced coffee!
Boston did the same thing to me--I run on DUNKIN iced coffee.
Dunkin's ice coffee is one of my favorite things ever! When I moved from MA to AZ, the closest one was over a half hour away! Torture on those hot days! But there's one 2 mins from our new house in VA and I am SO thankful for that! Gotta have my Dunks!
I really wish I liked coffee...but I just don't like the taste. Maybe I'll try and iced coffee though and see what I think!
We just had iced coffee yesterday and it was amazing. It's perfect for this hot weather.
Starbucks caramel frappuccino...my favorite!
I just found your blog... I'm from New England and now live in Kansas! When we first moved to our area, I drove around for an hour looking for a coffee shop...I had a sleeping babe in the car and all I wanted was a cup of coffee so I could let my babe sleep! Not a Dunkin Donuts, Tim Hortons or Starbucks to be found! Now 6 yrs later, we do have a few coffee shops around...but my babe has grown and no longer needs to nap in the car! LOL :)
