Season 4
Hey there, coffee lovers and dessert fanatics! ☕🍰 Welcome back to the couch, where your favorite trio—Patti, Bret, and Will—are diving headfirst into the ultimate coffee and dessert pairing extravaganza! This week, we’re shaking things up at the Coffee Beanery, sipping on some killer roasts and munching on drool-worthy treats to find out what combos make our taste buds sing (and what might make us cringe). Buckle up for a wild ride filled with laughs, a few mishaps, and a whole lotta caffeine! We’ve got a lineup of desserts that’ll make your mouth water: a fudgy chocolate caramel pretzel-crusted brownie from Beastro (yep, it’s as epic as it sounds), My Grandma’s of New England cinnamon walnut and banana coffee cakes (Will’s obsessed, and we get why), and Patti’s homemade lemon loaf cake that’s got a tart kick (spoiler: her son wasn’t impressed, but we’ll give it a fair shot). Oh, and don’t ask about the chocolate chip cookie disaster—let’s just say the office smells like burnt candles, and Patti’s blaming the air fryer. 😅 On the coffee front, we’re brewing up a storm with our house Beanery Blend (Bret’s basic-but-lovable go-to), a bold French Roast, a sweet Chocolate Marshmallow, a spicy Cinnamon Spice, and the bright, smooth Gladiola. We’re following the golden rule of pairing: match rich, dark desserts with strong coffees and lighter, fruitier sweets with bright roasts. But you know us—we’re not afraid to break the rules and try some wild combos, like cinnamon-on-cinnamon insanity or a chocolate raspberry pairing we wish we’d brought! Join us as we sip, munch, and banter our way through this taste test. Will’s pouring espresso shots like they’re going out of style (eight shots in one cup? Send help!), Bret’s rocking his new Coffee Beanery shirt (because “I like coffee, murder shows, and about three people” is his life motto), and Patti’s dodging soggy dessert crumbs like they’re her mortal enemy. We’re dishing on everything from restaurant horror stories (soggy bread in the dishwasher, anyone?) to lobster roll dreams (shoutout to Mo on Cape Cod living her best seafood life). Plus, we’re spilling the tea on our favorite coffees, from Gladiola’s Costa Rican smoothness to the Chocolate Orange flavor that’s got Patti hyped. Expect some serious laughs, a few “ew, no dunking” moments, and our honest takes on what pairs best. Will the French Roast and brownie steal the show? Will the lemon loaf and Gladiola be a zesty match made in heaven? Or will Will’s espresso obsession lead to heart palpitations? You’ll have to watch to find out! We’re also reading your comments live (hey, Donna and Mo!), so drop us a line and let us know your favorite coffee-dessert combos or if you’re Team Dunk or Team No-Crumbs like Patti. Grab a cup, snag a sweet treat, and join us for this deliciously chaotic episode. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and tell us what you want us to try next—maybe lobster rolls with espresso? (Laurie, we’re looking at you for that company card!) See you next week for more coffee-fueled shenanigans! ☕😜 #CoffeeBeanery #CoffeeAndDessert #TasteTest #PattiBretWill #EspressoVibes #SweetTreats
Hey everyone! Good morning from your fave coffee crew at Coffee Beanery – Britain, Laurie, and Patti here with another fun episode of Coffee Beer Sip and Share! We chat about coffee, life, pups, and whatever pops up – too much info? Maybe, but that's the vibe! Grab a mug and join the chaos! We're thrilled about our new permanent flavors launched Monday – sales are booming! VIP giveaway showed Chocolate Orange as the top pick; it's rich, zesty, like those whackable Christmas oranges or an orange Tootsie Pop. Raspberry's a fresh twist – pure berry bliss, distinct from our cherries or strawberries. We've got Michigan Cherry (bestseller), Black Cherry (rising star), Chocolate Cherry, and Cherry Vanilla – four cherries total! Someone ordered them all – cherry fan alert! Tasted live: Raspberry's fruity heaven, Chocolate Orange is delish. Tested in monthly boxes and advents – gold feedback. Hate fruit/choc in coffee? We have options, but these might win you over! New packaging alert: Fun graphic labels on white boxes – Ashley nailed it! Started with LTOs, now expanding. Vetoed some designs (pistachio looked odd, haha!). Flavor ideas? Dubai Chocolate, Butterscotch Pudding, Toasted Marshmallow – tell us! Pups steal the spotlight: Newbies Duke and Daisy are tiny goofballs, grass-munchers like goats (Duke barfed grass once – yikes!). They adore Sir William, our big gentle giant – he plays careful, but they're clueless about his size. Duke's lap-obsessed with Britain, Daisy's independent. Bone-gnawing, sibling rivalry – hilarious! No pukes yet, knock on wood. We rambled on life: Patti's handwriting's doc-level bad (or kidnapper? Kidding!); ban Laurie's cursive – kids can't read it. Analog clocks? TikTok showed college fails. Signatures are doodles now – lost arts with AI rising. Gas pump "click" scares; Britain's teaching kids in driver's ed. NJ/Oregon have attendants – fancy! Love languages: Service acts like tank fills or crab-cracking (hubby's broken arm story). Appreciate our guys and pals for birthday lunches, floor help during Kevin's Guillain-Barré scare – he's good now! Real talk: Michigan's Grand Blanc incident hit close (Laurie's backyard). Hearts to all; police there in 32 secs – heroes! Keep kids innocent ("bad guy + fire"). Love, kindness, grace fix divides – shared goals like safe kids. Friend's house fire (dehumidifier bomb during bday prep) – party went on in garage! Rock stars; community donated. Sandy Hook snowflakes – we made giants, saw in pics! Shoutouts: Bill's cherry jello, Charles' flavors, Deborah (read Laurie's note?), Melinda Odagard (school tie?), Jennifer (hybrid order – IG her name!), Mo (broken choc adoptee), and all! Thanks for backing our family biz – independents rare with big buyouts. Franchise stores, but family core. Coffee prices up, but your support brews us on! Try new flavors at coffeebeanery.com – Chocolate Orange/Raspberry musts! Code SIPANDSHARE 10% off (joke, but deals coming). Like/sub/bell – share fave flavor/pup tale. Lost art? Cursive, clocks, rotary phones? Chat below! Thanks for sipping/sharing – stay caffeinated and kind! ☕🐶❤️ Britain, Laurie & Patti
Hey there, Coffee Beanery fam! ☕ Britain, Laurie, and Patti here, bringing you all the cozy, chaotic, and caffeinated fun from our latest couch sesh at Coffee Beanery! Grab your favorite mug, settle in with a brew, and join us for a wild ride filled with puppy antics, 70s-inspired coffee flavors, and our signature randomness. We’ve got our adorable new fur-babies, Daisy and Duke, stealing the show (and maybe a few nibbles), plus a sneak peek at our Groovy 70s coffee subscription box that’s got us groovin’! In this episode, we’re spilling the beans (pun intended!) on our newest coffee obsession: the Groovy 70s subscription box! Think Almond Biscotti, Cherry Jello, Blueberry Crisp, and Chocolate Fondue—flavors so good they’ll transport you straight back to bell bottoms and disco balls. We’re dishing on why these flavors are giving us all the nostalgic feels, with Britain fangirling over blueberry, Laurie sneaking sips of chocolate fondue, and Patti declaring her love for almond biscotti. Plus, we’re giving a shoutout to our VIPs who get early access to these retro-inspired blends—because who doesn’t love feeling like a coffee rockstar? But hold up, it’s not just about coffee (though, let’s be real, that’s the star of the show). We’re also diving into the adorable chaos of Daisy and Duke, our newest Coffee Beanery mascots. These tiny Shih Tzus are stealing hearts with their Lorax-like looks and sassy personalities. Daisy’s a bit of a biter (ouch, Britain!), while Duke’s out here snoring like a champ. We’re sharing all the puppy parenthood highs and lows, from their speedy Pac-Man runs across the golf course to Laurie’s near-tears moment thinking she couldn’t handle two pups. Spoiler: they’re worth every second of the madness! Oh, and we’re getting ready for spooky season! Halloween’s around the corner, and we’re already dreaming up costumes (Laurie’s in charge, as always). Will we be Minnie and Daisy at a Florida Halloween party? Or something totally out-of-left-field? You’ll have to stay tuned to find out. We’re also hyped for upcoming concerts—Sabrina Carpenter, anyone? Britain’s secretly hoping for a Dolly Parton cameo, because who doesn’t love a country legend? We’re chatting about our favorite seasons (fall, anyone? 🍂), reminiscing about high school days, and laughing over Jell-O molds (sorry, Patti, no coconut for you!). Plus, we’re dropping hints about National Coffee Day on Monday, with three new flavors—chocolate orange, chocolate cherry, and raspberry—hitting the shelves. VIPs, you can snag ‘em now, so don’t sleep on it! And don’t miss our plans for holiday coffees and advent calendars dropping October 15th—perfect for getting into the festive spirit. So, whether you’re here for the coffee, the puppy cuddles, or just to laugh along with our ridiculous banter, we’re so happy you’re part of our Coffee Beanery crew. Check out the full video for all the deets, and don’t forget to grab your Groovy 70s subscription box at coffeebeanery.com (pro tip: skip Amazon for those sweet loyalty points!). Drop a comment with your favorite coffee flavor or your go-to Halloween costume idea—we’re dying to hear! Let’s keep the good vibes brewing! ✌️ #CoffeeBeanery #Groovy70s #PuppyLove
Hey, Coffee Beanery crew! ☕ It’s Britain and Patti, holding down the fort at Sip and Share while Laurie’s off handling mom duties (we miss you, girl!). Grab your favorite fall brew—caramel apple or pumpkin spice muffin, anyone?—and join us for a cozy chat about cosmic zodiac shake-ups, adorable puppy antics, and our exciting new coffee flavors dropping soon! From sick kids to feral Gen Alpha slang, we’re spilling all the tea (or coffee) today. Let’s dive in! 🍎🎃 Now, let’s talk cosmic chaos! Britain filled Patti in on last week’s zodiac bombshell: the Earth’s wobble shifts our view of the stars by a degree every 72 years, meaning your zodiac sign might not be what you think! 😲 Britain thought she was a stubborn, loyal Taurus (April 25th—bullheaded, check!), but she might be on the cusp of something else. Patti’s always been a charming, indecisive Libra, but now she’s maybe a worrywart Virgo? Logan’s still a solid Virgo, and Bret’s Gemini might actually be Taurus. It’s wild to think the Babylonians set this up 2500 years ago, and now there’s even a sneaky 13th constellation, Ophiuchus, they ignored! Britain’s 14-year-old son (who knows everything) wasn’t impressed, but we’re curious: do you vibe with your zodiac traits, or is this all hocus pocus? Tell us your sign and thoughts below! 🌌 Of course, it’s not Sip and Share without coffee talk! Our fall sale is in full swing, and we’re loving the cozy combos you’re ordering—like maple syrup, cinnamon spice, and caramel apple. So autumnal! 🍂 The caramel apple coffee is like biting into a crisp orchard treat, and the pumpkin spice muffin is subtle, not too sweet—perfect for fall. We’re also hyped for National Coffee Day on September 29th, when we’re dropping THREE new permanent flavors: regular raspberry, chocolate cherry, and chocolate orange! 🍒🍊 Yep, they all have a fruit vibe, and we’re obsessed. Plus, our holiday flavors launch October 15th, including Merry Mocha Mint, Cinnamon Holly Blend, and—drumroll—eggnog! 🎄 Oh, and the Dubai chocolate flavor? It’s been a BEAST to perfect. We’ve brewed hundreds of pots to balance the pistachio and chocolate without it turning into a creamy Lindt truffle takeover. It’s close, though—fingers crossed! Jennifer, we see your fig suggestion, and let’s just say something’s brewing soon. 😉 We got sidetracked (classic us) laughing about fuzzy fruit phobias (peach, apricot—yuck, Patti says!), Gen Alpha slang like “skibidi” (brain rot, anyone?), and Britain’s plant obsession (spending on dirt, not diamonds!). We also geeked out over upcoming movies like Downton Abbey for book club and those wild public domain horror flicks—Winnie the Pooh as a slasher? Bambi going rogue? 😱 Plus, we’re hustling with holiday gift sets (6,000 for Amazon alone!) and dodging Windows 11 IT nightmares. Shoutout to Charles for retiring at 72—live that pajama life! And Mo, we loved your Video Killed the Radio Star performance and that Santa’s Night Cap drink pic. Keep sending those! So, pour a cup of fall goodness, dodge the orange Oompa Loompa screen glow (our TV’s wilding), and tell us: Are you Team Zodiac, Team Coffee, or Team Puppies? (We’re all three!) Hit up our VIP page to share your coffee setup for a chance to win, and snag our fall sale (20-25% off, we’re too busy to check!). Thanks for sipping and sharing with us—here’s to cozy vibes and new flavors! ☕🐶🍂 Love, Britain and Patti #CoffeeBeanery #FallFlavors #ZodiacWobble #PuppyAntics
Hey, Coffee Beanery fam! ☕ It’s Patti, Bret, and Logan, joined by our fluff-tastic stars Daisy and Duke, bringing you another Sip and Share packed with laughs, cosmic confusion, and all the fall coffee goodness! Grab your caramel apple or pumpkin spice latte (decaf fans, we got you!), snuggle up, and join us as we dive into a wild zodiac shake-up, gush over our adorable Shih Tzu pups, and spill the tea on our upcoming holiday flavors. This one’s a caffeinated blast! 🐾✨ First off, let’s talk about Daisy and Duke, our Shih Tzu superstars! These little furballs are the chillest lap dogs you’ll ever meet, with eyelashes so long they’re basically ready for their close-up in a mascara ad. We’re talking Snuffleupagus-level lashes, people! 😍 At just a few months old, they’re stealing hearts (and maybe a few coffee beans) with their fluffy black-and-brown vibes. Patti’s obsessed with how they’re supposed to change colors—Duke might go gray, and Daisy’s rocking that chubby gerbil look. They were total angels during our chat, curled up like tiny donuts, but we’re bracing for their toddler phase to bring some chaos. Any puppy parents got tips for keeping these cuties out of trouble? Drop ‘em in the comments! 🐶 Of course, we can’t Sip and Share without coffee talk! A sweet customer note reminded us how a bad creamer can ruin a good cup (preach!), sparking a chat about creamers. Bret and Logan are all about that black coffee life now—grown-up vibes only—but Patti’s recently hopped on the creamer train to amp up those flavor notes. Speaking of flavors, our fall lineup is LIVE and giving all the cozy feels! The caramel apple coffee is like biting into a crisp, orchard-fresh treat—amazing hot, iced, or as a café caramel. The pumpkin spice muffin coffee is subtle, not too sweet, and perfect for fall. 🍎🎃 We’re also deep in R&D for some new flavors, and one’s been a total nightmare to perfect (no spoilers yet!). Holiday flavors drop October 15th, with Merry Mocha Mint, Cinnamon Holly Blend, and—drumroll—eggnog! It’s gonna taste like Christmas in a cup. 🎄 Deborah, we hear you loud and clear on that toasted marshmallow dream, but our shelves are packed—maybe we’ll sneak it in soon! We also got sidetracked (classic us) chatting about powdered creamer nightmares from diner days, Bret’s lactose-intolerant coffee journey, and Logan’s life water (aka black coffee). Plus, we’re pumped for National Coffee Day on September 29th and our holiday gift sets—6,000 headed to Amazon alone! We’re hustling with holiday help to get those boxes packed, and we loved hearing Patti sent coffee pods to her mom for her birthday. Hope she loves ‘em! ☕ Oh, and shoutout to the local middle school’s fundraiser with our coffee—supporting Voices for Children in Flint. Win-win! So, pour yourself a cup of our fall flavors, snuggle with your own furry friends, and tell us: Are you Team Zodiac, Team Coffee, or Team Puppies? (We’re all three!) Don’t forget to check our VIP page for a chance to win by sharing your coffee setup, and stay tuned for more fall and holiday fun. Thanks for sipping and sharing with us—here’s to cozy vibes and cosmic adventures! 🐶☕🌟 Love, Patti, Bret, and Logan #CoffeeBeanery #FallFlavors #ZodiacShakeUp #PuppyLove
Hey, Coffee Beanery fam! ☕ It’s your girls Britain, Laurie, and Patti, back with another Sip and Share that’s bursting with fall vibes, golf shenanigans, and some serious coffee love! Grab your favorite mug (or a caramel apple latte, no judgment) and join us for a wild ride recapping our epic weekend at Crystal Mountain, Michigan, and dishing on our brand-new fall coffee flavors. Trust us, this one’s a hole-in-one! 🏌️♀️🍎 Speaking of coffee, our fall flavors are LIVE, y’all! 🍂 The caramel apple is giving crisp orchard vibes—perfect hot, iced, or as a café caramel (though Britain’s still side-eyeing that $8 small from one of our stores… we’re investigating, promise!). Then there’s the pumpkin spice muffin coffee, subtle and cozy, not overly sweet, just the way we like it. Laurie’s not even a cinnamon fan, but she’s obsessed with this one (and her pumpkin spice laundry detergent, because why not?). We’ve got three pumpkin spice lattes and two caramel apple drinks in our stores right now, so whether you’re Team Pumpkin or Team Caramel Apple, we’ve got you covered. Oh, and holiday coffee fans, mark your calendars for October! We’re dropping Merry Mocha Mint, Cinnamon Holly Blend, and—drumroll—our new eggnog flavor! It’s gonna taste like Christmas in a cup, and we can’t wait for you to try it. 🎄 Back home, the puppies (Daisy and her chubby 4.7-lb self!) were so excited to see us, and Laurie’s kiddo Estelle melted our hearts with her gymnastics hug moment. We even squeezed in some golf simulator time with the kids (Jurassic Park course, anyone?) and tackled a crazy Labor Day sale rush—shoutout to Patti for holding it down while we were gone! We’re still packing orders like caffeinated superheroes, so if you snagged something from the sale, it’s coming your way soon. 📦 We also got sidetracked (as usual) talking about boozy caramel apples from a past book club (Tito’s-soaked apple slices, anyone?), Swedish fish vodka in Atlanta, and why ghost tours are the WORST when you’re tipsy and alone in a hotel room. Britain and Patti almost crashed each other’s rooms that night! 😱 Plus, we’re loving our new Coffee Beanery t-shirts and sweatshirts—now in 3XL and super comfy for all our curvy gals. If you want one, hit us up for sizes and measurements! So, pour yourself a cup of our caramel apple or pumpkin spice, and let us know in the comments: Are you Team Golf, Team Coffee, or Team Puppies? (We’re all three!) Don’t forget to check out our VIP page for a chance to win by sharing your coffee setup, and stay tuned for more fall fun. Thanks for sipping and sharing with us—here’s to cozy vibes and crushing it on the course! 🐶☕🏌️♀️ Love, Britain, Laurie, and Patti
Hey, Coffee Beanery Sip and Cheer fam! ☕ It's Britain, Laurie, and Patti here, barely surviving the back-to-school whirlwind and ready to spill ALL the tea—er, coffee! 😴 Join us for a hilariously relatable episode where we’re running on fumes, decaf (oops, sorry team!), and pure mom energy. We’re diving into the chaos of getting kids back to school—think swollen under-eye bags, misplaced meetings, and puppies chewing through our sanity. 🐶💦 This week, we’re sipping on our Roaring 20s coffee subscription box, and let us tell you, these flavors are serving Gatsby-level glam! From the sultry Butter Rum Cake (hello, childhood Lifesaver vibes!) to the decadent Chocolate Opera Cake, sassy Golden Vanilla Macarons, and flirty Strawberry Ladyfinger, these non-alcoholic treats are basically dessert without the calories. 🍰✨ We’re dishing on why you NEED to grab the full-size box for just $25 shipped—trust us, it’s a steal for these Prohibition-era-inspired goodies! Between sips, we’re venting about the back-to-school grind—Patti's got a freshman (a 5’10” “baby” taking AP classes!), and juggling a college junior who just yeeted off to his apartment with a sneaky cat, and Laurie’s dreaming of a nap to escape the puppy madness. 😅 We’re also geeking out over The Gilded Age (because who doesn’t love drama, dresses, and old-money vs. new-money tea?) and planning a Hawaii wedding trip that’s giving us jet-lag jitters already. 🌺✈️ Oh, and don’t miss our fall merch drop! We’re obsessed with our cozy “I Like Coffee, Murder Shows, and Maybe Like 3 People” T-shirts and sweatshirts, plus the “Stress, Blessed, and Pumpkin Spice Obsessed” vibes. 🎃👕 Perfect for sipping through spooky season! And yes, our 25% off birthday sale is still live through Sunday, so snag those deals before we switch to Labor Day mode. We’re also chatting about picking our next charity (we’re picky because we want your donations to actually help people, not just fund fancy CEO cars 🚗). Plus, we’re reminiscing about butter rum Lifesavers (are they discontinued? Send help!) and dreaming of a bake-off to match these coffee flavors. 🍰 So grab your mug, join our tired-mom club, and let’s sip through the chaos together! #CoffeeBeanery #SipAndCheer #Roaring20s #BackToSchool P.S. Shoutout to our fans Charles, Mo, and Annalise for joining the live chat! Love you all! 💖 Drop a comment if you’re team nap or team caffeine, and tell us your fave Roaring 20s flavor! 😜
Good morning, Coffee Beanery crew! ☕ Patti, Laurie, Britain, and Sedona here, barely surviving the adorable chaos of our newest stars, Duke and Daisy! These 9-week-old furballs with their sparkly green eyes are stealing our hearts (and our sleep!) 😴 Three days in, and it’s like having newborns—2:15 AM wake-ups, anyone? But these pups are the sweetest, cuddliest little troublemakers, wrestling like champs and passing out like tiny weighted blankets. 🐾 Join us as we gush over their cuteness, navigate litter mate syndrome, and try not to melt from their fluff-tastic charm! We’re still buzzing from our 49th birthday month, doubling NINE orders a day (yep, we’re generous like that!) and folding a gazillion t-shirts and sweatshirts—check out that cozy skull sweatshirt on the VIP page! 😎 Our photo shoot yesterday had us wiped (Lori was ready to puke from exhaustion!), but we’re hyped for next week’s big birthday wrap-up where we might just drop a new coffee flavor. 👀 Any guesses? We’re sipping on this month’s coffee flavor, and it’s a banger—Amordo fans, Patty’s with ya on those cherry-almond vibes! Plus, we’re dishing on Sedona’s new dance classes (planks on wobbly boards? No thanks!), our epic Red Rock concert adventure (380 steps? Send help!), and Taylor Swift’s treadmill-singing hustle. 🙌 Oh, and don’t miss our $15 mystery mug deal (freebies included!) and one final birthday sale next week. Grab your coffee, join the fun, and tell us in the comments: got any puppy tips for us? Or your fave coffee flavor? Let’s sip, laugh, and dodge puppy cuddles together! ☕
Hey Coffee Beanery fam! ☕ Britain, Will, and Bret here, bringing you another wild morning at the Coffee Beanery Sip & Share! Buckle up for a caffeine-fueled ride with our furry MVP, William, who’s got more energy than a triple-shot espresso! 🐶 This pup’s stealing pens, snagging toys, and turning our office into his personal playground—Logan dropped him off and bolted, leaving us to handle this furry tornado! 😅 This week, we’re diving into some epic coffee trivia that’s got us stumped, stoked, and straight-up laughing. From Java’s coding roots to Starbucks’ oily Olato (olive oil, who knew?!), we’re testing our coffee knowledge and getting schooled by our VIP page crew—shoutout to Mo, Patty, and Deborah for crushing it! ☕💪 Think you can beat Bret’s tiramisu flex or Will’s White Russian win? Jump in and play along! We’re also celebrating our birthday month with $15 mystery mugs stuffed with goodies (well, not literally, but you get freebies!). 🎁 Plus, we’re teasing some killer new coffee flavors dropping early September—trust us, you’re gonna love ‘em! 😎 Oh, and we’ve got firewall drama fixed (phew!), so we’re back and better than ever. Join us for the chaos, coffee talk, and William’s antics—seriously, this pup’s got us all on our toes! 🐾 Drop your trivia answers in the comments, tell us your fave coffee drink, or just vibe with us as we sip, laugh, and dodge William’s toy attacks. Don’t miss our big surprise next week—it’s one of our fave things ever! 🙌 Thanks for hanging with us, and here’s to a brew-tiful week! ☕✨ #CoffeeBeanery #SipAndShare #CoffeeTrivia #WilliamTheWild #BirthdayMugs #NewFlavorsSoon
Hey Sip & Share fam! It’s your gals Britain, Laurie, and Patti back at it with another unhinged episode of Coffee Beanery's Sip and Share! ☕ Buckle up for a rollercoaster of laughs, random tangents, and some questionable Scottish snacks that had us rethinking our life choices. This week, we’re spilling the tea (and coffee) on everything from makeup mishaps to eyeball adventures, with a side of coffee shop shenanigans. Grab your favorite brew and join us for the chaos! We kick things off with Laurie’s makeup-free confession—she swears it was on purpose for pool night, but we’re calling it a desk disaster! 😜 Meanwhile, Britains’s out here living her no-makeup life, and Laurie’s just trying to keep her mascara from melting in the car. This spirals into a hilarious rant about giant eyelash trends (are they ever going away?!) and a wild eye doctor story where Laurie’s vision got better with age. Say what?! We also drag Britain’s husband and Patti's son into the mix, spilling on their eye checkup sagas—think rust rings, burnt lashes, and a 24-year-old who’s now rocking glasses thanks to some sneaky mom-and-fiancée teamwork. 😎 Then, we dive into the real drama: Scottish snacks! We got our hands on some caramel wafers and Capercali eggs (fancy salted caramel ganache chocolates, thank you very much). The wafers? A chewy, not-so-crispy letdown that Laurie rated a measly 3/10. But those kappercali eggs? Straight-up fudgy brownie heaven in a cute egg carton! We’re obsessed, even if the Scottish bird they’re named after sounds like it’s auditioning for a horror movie with its croaky, cork-popping noises. 🐦 We also get sidetracked by British schoolboys freaking out over American biscuits and gravy—pure comedy gold! Of course, we can’t skip the coffee talk! Our big birthday sale drops THIS FRIDAY (yep, Coffee Beanery is leveling up!), and we’re teasing some epic new flavors that got delayed by our sneaky vendors. 😡 We’re also planning spirit week for our 50th anniversary—think ‘80s day, twin day, and a Price Is Right-style showdown with legit prizes! We’re even dreaming up a book for our VIP customers (100+ orders, we see you!). But the real debate? Should we call our top customers to chat? Britain says she’d yeet her phone into the void, but Patti’s on the fence. What do YOU think, fam? Oh, and we go full chaotic with random tangents: Patti’s Googling how many bodies are floating in space (spoiler: zero, but the 1971 Russian astronaut story is WILD), Laurie’s planning a Japan trip with cherry blossoms and pod hotels (hard pass on the wall pods, tho), and Britain’s dodging calls like a pro. We also confess our irrational fears—chickens, squirrels, and birds swooping at Laurie’s head in Scotland? Nope, nope, nope! Plus, we mourn Ozzy Osbourne’s epic unmedicated UK concert and geek out over Alice in Chains and Metallica. 🎸 Mo drops by in the comments with her “Boris the Spider” eye flutter, and Bill’s got us cracking up with birthday vibes and browser history hot takes. Speaking of, Patti’s search history is a true crime novel waiting to happen (serial killers in Michigan, anyone?), and we’re all wondering if chickens or sharks are deadlier. Spoiler: it’s mosquitoes, but roosters got three kills on record! 🐔 Pour yourself a cup of our blueberry-vanilla macadamia nut blend (or yesterday’s butter pecan fudge—swoon!) and join us for this unfiltered, laugh-out-loud mess. Don’t miss our pre-order drop for those super soft Coffee and Murder, Thanksgiving, and Christmas shirts—small, 2XL, and 3XL, snag ‘em while they last! Drop your thoughts in the comments: Would you answer a call from us? What’s YOUR weirdest Google search? And are you team Capercali eggs or team “these wafers are stale”? Let’s keep the Sip & Share party going! 🎉 #coffeebeanery #SipAndShare #ScottishSnackAttack
