Hands down the best Chai latte I have ever had!!
While visiting Boone, Iowa for the Grand Opening of my daughter-in-law’s new salon in The Livery building my son told me about a new coffee shop in the lower level of the building that had an amazing Chai latte. I had to try this out for myself. To me, Chai is the litmus test for a great coffee shop.
I headed over there around 10 am and was warmly greeted by the owner and another barista. I ordered a hot chai latte. The owner asked me a few questions about how I preferred my drink. She chatted with me about her chai mix, which is a hand crafted recipe. A few minutes later it was ready.
The first thing I did was remove the lid to smell the chai before tasting it. Wow! In my cup was the perfect blend of spice, warmth, and creamy goodness! This is not chain store coffee shop chai! It is utter perfection made with care and love!

They worked their magic and made him a drink that he loved. It was so very sweet and kind of them. I highly recommend...
Read moreI believe they just opened this week & I've been in 3 of the 4 days. I've tried the "Farmers Reboot", "Espresso Train", and a "Puffer Billy". All were excellent! I have some old High School pals coming to visit this summer and I look forward to bringing them to Blissful Brew. The building the coffee shop is located in is an old building with a lot of history which makes the coffee experience in there even better. Highly recommend to anyone around the area that has...
