I am a big coffee drinker. BIG coffee drinker. I love Fivebucks. I call it that…because unless you get a tall (read: small) black cup of the day… you’re going to spend 5 dollars. My old favourite was a quad venti (read: large) vanilla latte. Four shots of espresso allows my body to basically do a standing burnout into the day.
Anyway… back on topic. I made the switch to brewing my own at home in the mornings to save money… so I don’t actually go into Fivebucks to buy a cup too often these days. Occasionally when I do… depending on how early it is, I will get a pastry.
Is it me… or do all their pastries taste like the same thing? They’re kiiiinda good, but not great. And when combined with 4 shots of espresso, it almost always makes me feel sick. But for some reason I always repeat this cycle. That coffee on it’s own doesn’t induce nausea… so it has to be a pastry ingredient.
This morning I had an apple fritter. This apple fritter:
It wasn’t very good. Tasted stale. In fact. I only ate about half and gave up on finding a good bite.
Meh… at least the coffee was good.

Their banana bread is yummmmmy!!! 🙂 Chris even likes it and that’s an accomplishment all in itself.. You should try it next time I’ve never had a bad piece from there yet 🙂

The banana bread is pretty good. The pumpkin loaf is pretty good as well.. but they only offer it around the holidays.
Both will make me feel sick with coffee, though. My body is extremely volatile.
