I had resigned myself to the fact that Georgians wouldn't know a good cup of coffee if it jumped up and said "Y'all haf a good day na, ya hear" until that is I visited the North Georgia Premium Outlet mall, that appeared like an oasis in a desert - a desert of confederate flag waving farmers! I admit that I approached my request for a cappuccino with more than a little trepidation, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that the coffee had a lovely little kick. It was smooth and sweet and topped off with just the right amount of creamy foam. My only two criticisms would be that it was initially served too hot and that stopped the flavours coming through until it had cooled down. The bean should never be boiled - it kills the flavour! The other bug-bear is that yet again it was served in a paper cup. What is it with disposable food containers in nearly every restaurant we go to? I guarantee it's not because they're recycling! So take note Georgia - we want to drink our beverages out of ceramic. It is so much nicer! Anyway, if you're in the Dawsonville, North Georgia, USA area and fancy a bit of retail therapy, topped off with a good cup of coffee, then get yourself down to the Premium Outlet Mall........tell them that the Coffee Queen of Edgware, UK sent you!
Life is short. Stay awake for it! |
