Rockenwagner Bakery

So sleepy and cold this morning that I stopped at Rockenwagner Bakery for an Americano. The menu said 2.50, but when the guy said “would you like an extra shot?” I answered yes without hesitation. My mistake. For those of you that don’t know, an Americano is espresso and water. No fancy syrups or milk necessary. You would think it would be cheap, but no. My drink this morning cost $3.52. It’s a decent Americano, but I doubt I will ever buy one from them again. Like the drink, the rest of their menu, composed of pre-prepared food already packaged and ready to go, is overpriced and mediocre at best. Another restaurant on 3rd street that I will never say “hey, let’s go there.”

    Yikes! That is a pricey coffee! Coffee Bean has gotten pretty absurd too. And I spent $3.75 on a chai at Aroma Coffee & Tea in the valley this weekend!!

    I’m getting so upset at expensive beverages. Yes, it’s partly paying for convenience. But, seriously… the economy has me rethinking. Especially with the sales tax increase coming; this $ adds up and subtracts out of my bank account. No bueno.
