Transcript

What's the most viral drink order we've ever had? Best was the blueberry latte. Now it's the caramelized banana latte. Let's give both a try, shall we? Our blueberry and caramelized banana. Blueberry first. That's amazing. But I feel like I like black raspberry chip better. What do you guys think? Should we bring that back? I don't fucking know. Alright. Let's try this. Oh. See tier banana best, like, does something to you. Like, it I could just fucking chug this. Cheers.
