Not to send anyone off to puke in the bushes or anything... but an iced latte, plain, is my favorite coffee. Anyway, I don't drink coffee often, at coffee/espresso places I usually order an Italian soda, no cream or whipped cream.

Please, no heaving in the coffee shop LOL MJH, I love raspberry tea, lemonade, and ice cream. Never tried it in hot chocolate though. The first time I saw Chock Full O Nuts coffee I thought they were nuts. Guess a lot of people like nutty coffee. Kristy, your tropical coffee shop decor sounds so relaxing. That is a good idea. I thought about a tropical theme with bamboo 'walls' between the tables and a mural on the outside walls. Thank you all for your input. I'm keeping a copy of this thread. Hope some of the Mystic travelers will come in and comment, too.

I love Iced Coffee, I have about 2 a day, sometimes even in the dead of winter. But not frappucino stuff, I don't like any sweet taste in coffee, I just take it with half and half.

I don't like coffee. I do love Starbucks' mocha frappuccino. It's more a milkshake than a coffee.

DItto what Moondance said Gracie!! Personally I am not a coffee drinker, dh loves the stuff, but I tend to try and hold my breath when I go into a Starbucks. I go into a Starbucks to grab their Scones!! They have seasonal scones and muffins that I love!! I will if I'm pressed drink hot tea there, and in the fall hot apple cider, with a touch of their carmel sauce - that is yummmmmm

This was a Baskin & Robbins flavor years ago and I still remember it. Nothing really has ever come close. Chocolate Mandarin Sherbert. It was a rich dark chocolate with a hint of orange in a velvety smooth texture.

I love anything with pecans and caramel stuff. Also the more nuts, chocolates, etc., the better.

I was a HUGE fan of Hershey's Moosetracks until it became popular. . .now I go for anything without nuts/candy but plenty of chocolate and caramel Ok, Gracie. . . here are a few suggestions for your storefront. . .sorry I am repeating anyone elses. . . Java'N'Cream Just Java Fire'N'Ice Grace's Beans Cool Beans (but I feel like I might have seen that in PA) Someplace Special (again, I feel like I went there) X Marks the Spot Hot'N'Cold Hot'N'Cold Cups (That's from the kids at the Y) The Beanery The Bean Oasis The Jolt Shop You can add Grace to the front of most of those titles. . . Grace's Fire'N'Ice was the suggestion from the Y kids. I couldn't remember anything you said about the local area, so I'll go back and take a look at that and think some more. . .

I do not like coffee at all, not in any form or flavor (even ice cream) but I wish I did! (The whole social thing and all the wonderful sounding names of different coffee drinks...sigh...)I really do not enjoy hot drinks, I hate tea, and I'm not much for hot chocolate. I really like the cold strawberry drink that Starbucks has. I'm sure it is so full of fat and sugar! But I have indulged in this drink twice! Anyway, a drink of that type would be a nice addition to your shop for people like me. Good luck Urgrace!

Happymom, I'll take all the advise given and consider my options carefully. Texannie, that chocolate mandarin sherbet sounds like they substituted the vanilla from a dreamcicle! Yum. Graceunderfyre, another one of my favorite ice cream flavors is seasonal and very hard to find even then. It's lemon ice cream. No not sherbet, no nuts or swirls, just lemony and creamy. Straight or with a swirl of chocolate syrup dribbled on it is a real treat.

You know that those mix ins at Dairy Queen are hugely popular too!! My favorite Ben and Jerry's ice cream is Choc Chip Cookie Dough... and i love Daiquri Ice Sherbet (go figure!!)

oh wait, I change mine to Ben & Jerry's Phish food!!! If I were king, I would remake this ice cream. It is chocolate ice cream with marshmallow and caramel swirls and chocolate chunks. I would remake it with heavier swirls of the marshmallow and the caramel. Also I would use better chocolate chunks.
