Well the weather outside is....hot? This unexpected heatwave is a great excuse to get outdoors for some fresh air and a cold drink for the whole family but sometimes it's hard to decide where to go. Here is some inspiration for you as you celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. day:
1st row (left to right): iced coffee beverage and a cookie from The Good Seed (Solvang), blended drink trio from The Coffeehouse by CHOMP (Solvang), iced latte from God's Country Provisions (Buellton). 2nd row (left to right): mint fudge Oreo milkshake from Cafe Dolce (Solvang), fresh-pressed juice Valley Fresh Market (Solvang), Cornerhouse Coffee (Los Olivos) 3rd row (left to right): peach/pear/apricot smoothie from Coffee Cabin (Buellton), fresh-pressed celery juice from El Rancho Market (Solvang), a three-layer hazelnut latte from Pony Espresso (Santa Ynez)
All of these locations offer a variety of beverages from coffee to tea, smoothies to juices, blended drinks or milkshakes to iced lattes and kombucha. So now that you have an idea of what you're going to order, can we suggest a good book to go along with your beverage? Heatwave, a novel by Kate Riordan, is available now at The Book Loft in Solvang. Of course this weather is expected to cool down on Tuesday and again on Friday for a while. So what are you waiting for?!
