Not Your Average Cup of Joe

Looking for a morning pick-me-up?  A study spot?  A place to relax?  The CedarValley is home to many coffee shops- Starbucks, Cabin Creek, Caribou, Sidecar, Cottonwood Canyon.  Each shop offers a variety of products, some more uncommon than others.  However, none of these coffee shops offer such charm and character as Cup of Joe.

What's even better than the Cup's charm?  THE DRINKS and THE FOOD!

Each time I go to Cup of Joe, it takes me about 5 minutes (at least!) to decide what I want.  There are SO MANY yummy options to choose from.  Yesterday, I opted for the Pumpkin Spice Latte and a Carmel Apple Cinnamon bar.  YUM! It was the perfect  combination!  Cup of Joe never has the same selection of food day-to-day.  In the mornings, they have a selection of quiche, muffins, cinnamon rolls, biscottis, etc.  Then, as the day goes on, they swap out for some sweet treats.  They have a variety of cookies, bars, cake, cheesecake, etc.  Some of my favorites are: Oreo cheesecake, Ho-Ho bars, and the bar pictured above.  All of their food is made in house from scratch!  They even have vegan options!  As for the drinks,  Cup of Joe has over 15 years worth of experimental recipes!! You are sure to leave with your taste buds more than satisfied!!  I usually choose a drink off of the chalkboard.  The chalkboard contains their current "spotlight" drinks.  Their current spotlight drinks feature Pumpkin Spice Latte, Carmel Apple Cider, Sugar-Shack Mocha, and Cable-Knit Chai.  I love the creative names they come up with for their drinks!  I have had 3 of the 4 on the current board.....they were all delicious!       

Are you hungry yet?  If you haven't already, check out Cup of Joe.  You certainly won't regret it!!  

Do you have any favorites from Cup of Joe?  I would love to hear about them!!
