Mojo Coffee
If you need a cup to-go, drive through Mojo Coffee for a brew made with freshly ground beans. How about a frozen concoction to wake you up? Mojo’s Famous Frappe blends espresso and frothy milk for a boost that tastes like a treat. Or choose iced coffee made with espresso cold-brewed for 24 hours. If you’re a traditionalist, grab a classic cup or jazz it up with an Andes Mint Mocha or Milky Way. Not a coffee lover? They also have cocoa, tea, homemade energy drinks, smoothies, and shakes in flavors like Captain Crunch.
Forrest Coffee House
If you want to sit and sip, venture Downtown, where you can relax under 300-year-old oak trees surrounding Forrest Coffee House. All their java is organic and sourced from Central America, Sumatra, and Africa. Try the unique honey-processed roast for a slightly sweet but creamy brew or El Guapo Espresso for a full-bodied caramel-chocolate kick. You can dress up your drink with steamed or frothed milk and flavored syrups or make it iced. They also have teas, smoothies, beer, and munchies like bagels, croissants, and cookies.
teaN’ergy
Would you rather have tea? You’re in luck because teaN’ergy Tea 2 Go has a huge variety. Black, white, green, chai, herbal—take your pick of delicious, healthy brews made from loose-leaf teas. Have some green tea to turn on your fat burners and lower blood pressure. Or get a full caffeine kick from black tea, straight or infused with flavors like sangria, toasted almond, or spicy chai. Then again, maybe you want a Snickerdoodle without all the calories. You can get your fix with a flavored, caffeine-free herbal tea. They also have Matcha lattes and home-brewed energy drinks.
Local Chain Favorites
A couple of national chain drive-thrus can also help kick-start your day. Of course, Starbucks wins for popularity and has endless choices. Their newest feature is Oleato Golden Foam made with extra virgin olive oil to add a healthy side effect to your morning jolt. Then there’s Dutch Bros Coffee, where you can get a protein java with vanilla or salted caramel (now that’s how you make protein tasty!), flavored energy drinks, and specialties like the chocolate macadamia nut Annihilator.
Whichever jolt you need, you can get it quickly when you live in Lariat. Your new home will be close to local shops, or you can whip up your own in your spacious, modern kitchen. Come talk with us about finding your morning oasis.
