Destination: Avenue Coffee

03.14.10

Yesterday I drove up to Tucson, Arizona with my mom. Tucson is about a two hour drive from Phoenix, and although I didn’t having much time to drive around on my own and explore (we went there on business) I did get to stop into the lovely Avenue Coffee that I’ve heard so much about.

Pecan trees on the way to Tucson (my grandpa’s favorite when he was alive).
Looking out to Campbell Avenue.
If you live in the Valley of the Sun and have ever gone to either location of Cartel Coffee Lab you would feel right at home at Avenue Coffee.
Look, even the menus are similar to that of Cartel’s!
I had heard that their espresso was exceptional, so naturally I felt inclined to try a large non-fat latte.
(This foam shot is for you Katrina!)
My mom is a big chai tea latte fan so she got a large iced chai and let me tell you, this may have been the best chai I’ve ever tasted. The flavor was just so natural and not overwhelmingly sweet. I would highly suggested either drink to anyone that has the chance to stop in their one day.
I’ll be back later today with more of an update on my life.
