Transcript

What's the weirdest thing someone's ordered recently? Recently, we got an order for a rosemary salt bagel with bacon and blueberry cream cheese. And they paired it with a honey salted latte on top with vanilla float. Okay. Well, sounds like we need that right now. Okay. You know, I'm going in for a sip first. This is our honey salted latte on top with our vanilla beans cold foam. Let's try a sip. That is amazing. There's this, like, rich umami flavor to it, which I feel like is with salt, but 10 out of 10 drink for me. Look at the vanilla best, like, specs. Specks. Obsessed. Moving into good. Will you get a fucking look at this? Our blueberry cream cheese good this thick ass cut bacon. Wow. When I was really hungover in college, I know that this was like my go to. Like a strawberry or blueberry cream cheese with bacon or something salty sweet. No, mad respect for this order and I totally best it. Hope to see you soon. Bye.
