Espresso Madness

I don't smoke cigarettes and I hardly drink alcohol but I can't live without coffee. I have tried multiple times to quit drinking it but I just can't seem to keep it up. It tastes great, it smells great, It gives you energy and if you're anything like me it can take you from an angry bitch to delightfully buzzed after just a few slams. I frequent a couple of different coffee shops in Victoria mostly because they all make certain drinks better then others and they are in locations close to home, work and daycare. My usual is an Americano but once a week I allow myself a Mocha. The coffee shop closest to daycare is The Parsonage and they have one employee (I feel horrible that I haven't asked her her name) that makes the most unreal Mocha I've ever had in my life. All of the photos below are of the Mocha's she has made for me. Everyone else who works there aren't even close to half as good as she is at making them so like I said, I usually stick with an Americano because unless you're an idiot, those are easy to make. 

These are the coffee shops I frequent and the drinks I believe are the best ones to try at each location: 

The Parsonage located @ 1115 N North Park St: Mocha, Americano

Habit located @ 552 Pandora Ave & 808 Yates St: Soy Africano, Americano, Mocha 

Cafe Fantastico located @ 965 Kings Rd: Americano (I only go here because it's beside the grocery store and they have really beautiful antique couches but they have recently hired the worst man alive and I actually refused his service because I found him horribly annoying-yes I'm THAT person) 

Dolce Vita located @ 999 Yates St: SPANISH LATTE SPANISH LATTE SPANISH LATTE (I used to work here a couple of years ago but had to quit due to personal health issues)

If you hate hipsters and douche bags and most people that suck you probably shouldn't stay in most of these places for too long and I'd suggest getting your coffee to go. I'm a tolerant person so I can handle  (ignore) most people but sometimes you just cant. I find myself the most comfortable at The Parsonage but because its always so crowded I leave pretty quickly. Don't get me wrong I get great service from these places or I wouldn't be suggesting them- The atmosphere just isn't for everyone.
