Ever wonder why it only takes 30 minutes to drive to BYU but it takes 45 to get back? It's because Provo sucks. If you absolutely have to visit our neighbors to the south, be sure to let them know how you feel about it.

From what I overheard the owner telling the hot chick who came in after me, they've only been in business since December.

it's okay to cheat on sbux once in a while, but remember some of us still love it. only place that will not reach across the counter and strangle me when i order my incredibly high-maintenance beverage.

It's not cheating... it's more like... umm... leaving them for another.

I used to live about right there
Submitted by clint on February 22, 2007 - 7:28pm.
So the little people candy store is gone?
I always thought that corner could have used a coffee shop--aside from the 4 that were there in the 4 years that I lived there.
Is Shambala still there.
Man I need to get back up to my old hood.

little people
Submitted by clint on February 25, 2007 - 1:58pm.
There was a candy shop/coffee emporium there owned by little people. Given the fancy cups etc., I'm assuming they have gone.
Shambala is a kick-ass Tibetan restaurant that I hope is still there. I used to stop in on my way home occasionally and get a great Tibetan butter chair. Amazing stuff on a cold day.

Now that is funny. It should be Chai.

I heard about that. Is it any good?

i've never been in there...
Submitted by jess (not verified) on February 25, 2007 - 10:14pm.
but i hear it's great. it is actually very very close to my house. the owner has strange hours (i.e. he's open when he feels like it) but i have spoken with at least 4 people who homebrew regularly and that is where they get all their goods...

As a native Californian, where, at least in the Bay Area, there's plenty of tasty coffee, Logan was certainly a shock upon moving here last month. However, a local showed me Cafe Ibis on Federal Ave behind Zion's, and I can't get enough of the blackberry lattes. Not to mention the kickass employees. I hear their beans are great, too, but I don't have much time to make it at home.

meh....
Submitted by Christy (not verified) on February 22, 2007 - 10:39pm.
Personally, I'm always a fan of locally owned and operated businesses. The only thing a Starbucks is good for is a meeting location. I suggest Beans & Brews.
Okay that's all.

You gotta love Utah-specific marketing - that name kicks ass. Like St Provo Girl, Polygamy Porter and other local gimmicks, it's very groovy how companies capitalise on the strange subculture that is Utah.

Strange?
Submitted by Pete on February 23, 2007 - 10:30am.
Utah has a strange sub-culture? Is this in addition to the strange mainstream culture too?

No...

Utah IS the strange subculture vis-a-vis The Rest Of The World. Heh.

This is just a guess but I'm betting if you call them, they'll ship one to you.

I should have known Jess would be here (Hey, Jess).
I think that you should have polygamy coffee house and enjoy the pleasures of both. Don't you?

Only if...
Submitted by Pete on February 26, 2007 - 10:17am.
Only if the first coffee house agrees to the arrangement. Starbucks is a jealous bitch though and would never allow it.

Hello Everyone

How in THE hell did I not know about this place?
Oh. Probably because I've been in Cache Valley for the last decade.
Damn.
