A large brown frayed canvas camping tent in a random parking lot had a flea market feel, that shifted to homeless shanty, then hippy stoner harambe, but emerged as a coffee trailer, tucked inside, with bright, pretty, clean and friendly young baristas who served us with fast efficiency.
"Do you have drip coffee?" I sleepily queried. "It's aeropress." The handsome young man informatively replied with no pretension.
Hands repetitively clapped in my monkey brain as he deftly poured hot milk into my friends cappuccino with a hand gestured undulating wave that revealed an artful milk laced mandala design on top of a light brown coffee.
