With word that Coffee Shop has opened in downtown Walnut Creek this week, I’ve been wondering how many people are partial to coffee and how many prefer tea. My routine is black tea in the morning, green tea at lunch and herbal tea after dinner. I do look forward to trying coffee at the Coffee Shop though. What do you prefer? What brand is your favorite?
