A set of things I'm looking for.  Disclaimer!!!!! When it comes to coffee, I am an ENTHUSIAST, I didn't go to any kind of school for this. (Though I did go to one seminar that talked about bean roasting so you could say I'm an expert). I'm just a bitch who likes coffee.  Now when it comes to being disabled?  Bitch is an expert.

There are very rare moments when this store has a slow time. Since it is in a college town (a nice college town), they are able to have dine-in glassware that you can ask for if you are planning to stay a while and study. Better for the environment and, if it’s slow, the baristas will ask if you want a refill if you’ve been there for a while. The outdoor patio is okay,...]]></description><link>https://www.caffeinatedcomfortably.com/post/starbucks-claremont</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a41f0ce51416e35e7820b1a</guid><pubDate>Fri, 10 Jul 2026 22:30:08 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/06f42b_0c01ce22699c45dcb9cf238e7a05bdbc~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Bri Kelly</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wheelchair Drama]]></title><description><![CDATA[This week was supposed to be THE week. The roommates were out on a trip to Mexico for 9 days total. This would have been 9 full days of the house to myself, doing chores, hobbies, and going to coffee shops to work on this blog. 9 full days alone. Of course the universe had other plans. 	It was 9:23 am. I heard the front door close and our Alexa notifying me that someone was at our front door. The roommates were gone. 9 days have started now.

The shop has multiple bean varieties, multiple matcha varieties, and was proud to state that all of their syrups were made in the shop.
