The mother HAAS tree of that genetic sport is still thriving in SOCAL. I've had to forego buying any as the price went up and quality down this past season. Avocado poaching is still a FELONY in California and the assorted nouveau cuisine recipes and now this should be too.

Hipsters are ruining society. I like the one comment that says "I will die before I consume an avolatte".

John (churchilllafemme), give it five minutes and you'll see it on Charbucks menu, along with it's choice of ridiculous size names.  (Whatever happened to Small, Medium, and Large in the Charbucks lexicon?)

Starbucks copywrited their name not from a Battlestar Galactica fighter pilot, but an American folk hero. Albert Bartholemew Starbuck was the Yankee Merchant Marine's equal to Paul Bunyan, Pecos Bill and Joe Magarack. His initials A.B.S. derived from the rank Able Bodied Seaman. Aside from Kona I infrequently buy
direct from Hawaii: I am tea man and frequent the growing number to tearooms. A proper cuppa with biscuits or other creations is oh so much nicer than a bearclaw
served with the sound of a fusion jazz CD for sale by a clerk proclaiming she is born again and I reply oh, Charista- can I just have a Columbian, black, large?

Let's not even get into their "pastries" (and please note that pastries is in quotes).  What Charbucks serves, both in coffeee and food, is rubbish!

I think I'll have to pass on one of those. Not so sure they would do well here in Nashville.
