The first time I came here, I got a caramel latte. Once in my car, I took a tentative sip, worried that I would be disappointed yet again by a coffee shop that tries too hard in all the wrong places. How silly was I to assume - that first sip of my latte was like having life itself breathed into me, the nectar of the gods coursing down my throat. Rich caramel goodness layered with a strong, full espresso and the smoothest organic milk any cow has ever produced.
I was scared to post a review after just one visit, as quality inconsistencies from one day to another have let me down in the past. But today, I was determined to get another taste of what can only be described as a latte touched by the Lord himself. I drove from my lonely little dorm, just barely adhering to the speed limit, salivating at the thought of replicating even a fraction of last week's goluptious gustatory glory. The lovely lady at the counter asked if I needed any help but I had tunnel vision which directed only to the LATTE section of the menu. Caramel latte, large, whole milk, iced - last week I got a medium, but god bless this establishment for doubling the espresso for a larger size, as finals week requires enough caffeine to send an elephant into shock.
I tipped, fumbled, and anxiously waited for my coffee. They called my name, and I momentarily became a child again, thrilled at the concept of getting to stab my straw through an unbroken plastic film - conquering my coffee, tapping the well of smooth caramel goodness. I left and returned to my car before I could make a fool of myself. A tentative sip, fearing the worst. In an instant, my fears melted away, and in the moment all I could know and would ever know was the heavenly caramel espresso bliss, cascading around me, a crescendo of culinary delight. I have found it, I realized. I have found THE coffee shop of my dreams. Daily Dose Craft Bar is the only coffee shop I have ever visited in all my years of being a broke and exhausted college student to have this profound effect on my mind and tongue alike. I will sing praise from the rooftops about this amazing shop, and miss it dearly when I return home...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreThis place is truly unique! I love how curated and simplistic each menu item is. I got the OTW to the Beach with tapioca pearls and I was fairly impressed. Not only was it fresh, but it was delicious as well.
Although I wish this place opened longer, I think they carefully craft each drink to perfection. My drink had strawberries and a tea base which mixed together, tasted like a refresher. I was also pleasantly surprised by the passion fruit fruit tea which tasted like it came straight from the fruit itself. It had a concentrated flavor and a slight tang to it. The peach green tea was delicious as well but you can taste more green tea than actual peach.
The menu has interesting items and I canāt wait to come back to try the Yuzu Dream. If they had some sort of description on their menu of what was contained in each drink, I feel like it would have appealed more to customers. Other than that, the atmosphere and dining area is comfortable. They also sell cakes and desserts which look heavenly. I hope to come back soon but I recommend this mom & daughter shop! They share the building with a joint pharmacy so the early closing time is understandable. The staff was accommodating and...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreCoffee fans must visit and try the great drinks from this local business! What a wonderful first visit I had! I surely got my āDeliciosostyleā (Yummystyle in Spanish š) dose at Daily Dose Craft Bar, Inc. A special shoutout to the awesome staff on this visit: Rebecca, Ghen & Cherise! These ladies were very helpful, professional and welcoming. I ordered the āToasted Coconut Oolong Milk Teaā (Roasted oolong tea, toasted coconut puree, & coconut milk)ā¦This drink was super refreshing and tasted great! As a big coconut fan, I went Loco for the Coconut after enjoying this beverage! The interior was roomy and had comfortable seating. The painted mural on the far wall was so cool and added to the chill and relaxing vibes while slowly sipping my tea.
Before leaving, I treated myself by purchasing a bag of organic coffee from a local business called Sweetwater Organic Co. in Gainesville, Fl. Daily Dose has a nice variety of coffee from this company for sale.
I know what drink Iām ordering on my return visit and will also try something new from their...
