So Thursday nights are becoming "Try A New Coffee Shop Night" while I am waiting for class to start. My classes take place in South East Portland and needless to say, I do not know this neighborhood at all! Here's a post devoted to 2 new coffee shops I've tried.
A few notes about me and coffee: I love the stuff. Caramel lattes are my all time favorite drink. Insomnia Coffee Co in Hillsboro Oregon make the very best ones so everything I taste, I rate against the Real Caramel Latte (RCL) with light whip.
SoZo Coffee House
This place is an Asian run bubble tea joint that just so happens to make a kickbutt latte. Seriously. I have consumed a lot of caramel lattes hoping to find one as good as Insomnia's. While this just isn't quite an RCL, it is the closest coffee I have ever had to one! Yes folks, I've found a #2! The downside to SoZo is the atmosphere. I'm not into cheap Ikea furniture that is falling apart. And, I was the only non mandarin speaking person in the place. All this aside, I will totally be back seeing as though it's only 2 minutes from my school.
Coffees On-Mall 205
This is a strip mall coffee joint if I've ever seen one. Typical tiled floor with an office tiled ceiling. The barista was nice enough. The coffee was also good. It's not my #2 or my #1 but it's a solid coffee (latte). I would go back but I wouldn't drive across town just to get a drink here.
Well, look for more posts to come about my coffee adventures in SE Portland. So far, Portland has not made a bad cup!

a NEW school
Today marks the start of my academic career at Warner Pacific College. I am starting the last 18 months of my undergrad in the Adult Degree Program to earn my Bachelors degree in Business Administration.
After much runaround, I decided that I will attend classes at the 205 Campus in South East Portland. My first choice of campus was the Westside one that was located only 7 short miles from my work. The classes were scheduled to start in January but due to low enrollment were pushed back to start in March. The March start date meant that I would not meet the mandatory degree-in-hand deadlines for my internship at Intel...so a once a week drive to South East Portland it is!
Standing on this side of this new thing, I am a little nervous yet very excited to see what this new adventure holds.
