Oooh nice pastries, and reasonable prices. All I know is that I'll go
out of this world without paying $5 for a cup of ritzy so-so coffee...
must be the Scot in me. My favorite "outside" coffee is found at a
truck-stop at the edge of town, $2 for a big refillable mug. On the road
I'll stop at Dunkin' Donuts.
