Haven't Had A Cup of Coffee In A While: Brooklyn Roasting Company

   

                    Brooklyn Roasting Company

On Sunday we decided to continue our coffee adventure, I apologize that my friend Esmeralda and I haven't been to a coffeeshop but we both got busy  We decided to go to near DUMBO which stands for (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass). The coffeeshop Esmeralda, Sami(he is our other friend lol) and I went to was the Brooklyn Roasting Company. There are two sides in Brooklyn Roasting Company on one side is a blender bar were they specialize in smoothies and the other side is coffee and snacks. When we first entered we by accidentally went inside the blender bar side, we realized later on when the barista said "If you guys want coffee its on the other side".  So we started to walk down in the cafe to walk toward the coffee side, and I noticed there were coffee bags on the floor, it looked like we were in a coffee factory but we weren't. When we entered the coffee side we noticed how packed the place was and you couldn't hear what the other person was trying to say and you couldn't also find a place to sit, that's how good their coffee is. The baristas and the people who took our order were very friendly and nice.
   
    I ordered a small cup of chai latte, I've heard about it before but never tried it because I always thought it was same as the chai (tea) I drink at home. So, I decided to try it as my former viewers know that every time I go to a new coffeeshop I like to try something new or I drink the coffeeshop specials. I drank the chai latte and I loved it, since I'm Pakistani our homemade chai (tea) is different. Our chai is sweet meanwhile, the chai latte I had, had cinnamon in it. But I loved the new taste. By adding the cinnamon it added more flavors to the drink. Sami, my other friend ordered a peppermint tea, he added milk in his. He didn't like the taste of his peppermint tea he thought it was too candyish. I asked him what did he put in his tea, he then told me that he put milk and syrup in it. I told Sami it was the milk that probably made it taste bad . Usually peppermint tea tastes good, but it may not be good for others. Everyone taste varies. Esmeralda ordered a cup of cortado. It was a warm drink and it made her felt that she on top of a puffy cloud. So she loved her drink.

  Then after we were done drinking our coffee we took some photos and started to walk. Then we decided we were hungry and we were looking for some restaurants in the area but we didn't like anything. So we decided to go to Shake Shack near Atlantic Ave & Barclays Center, usually that Shake Shack is never packed. While we were in Shake Shack it started to snow and it was freezing. We had to eat outside because there was no seats left inside. Since it was freezing we deciding to go back inside to get it packed. When we went inside some people were done and we decided to stay in Shake Shack. Sami and I ordered a Shroom Burger and Esmeralda ordered a chicken burger. I loved the shroom burger and my strawberry milkshake it was amazing. When we were done eating we decided to go to Target because Esmeralda had to buy a batman or superman shirt because the new Superman and Batman movie is coming out Friday. But, unfortunately luck wasn't on her side. Then we decided to end our coffee adventure and go on our way home.
