About This Site

This is Shane’s blog about all things coffee, tea, and caffienated beverages, and especially about his favorite coffee shop, Peet’s. He likes most of them, and drinks a lot of coffee, so read on!

If you want to be awesome

• Try out your local Peet’s store if you have one, and smile at the staff.
• If you don’t have a local Peet’s, then enjoy your favorite locally owned coffee/tea shop and smile at the staff.
• It’s amazing how much better the day is when you smile, don’t you think?
