Withdrawal Symptoms

I know it's been a few days since I've posted on here and it's a little unusual for me.  I apologize, but I've been buried in my workload for school; just trying to finish up the quarter strong.  Unfortunately that entails about six essays and two in class finals in the span of ten days.  I'm tired and mentally exhausted, thus writing on a blog at the end of the day is not really a pleasant thought - usually I'm ready to pass out on my driveway. BUT since I love this baby of mine so much, and I don't want you all to forget about me, here's a post!

Now, withdrawal symptoms. I had two things in mind - 1. I've been away from this blog for a few days, Perhaps I'm suffering from withdrawal symptoms? Not sure. 2. COFFEE.

Yes. Cofffee. My good ol coffee. In case you missed it, I've been trying out tea since my French press whom I loving had named Bodey broke :( It's been fun, but nothing beats coffee.

Since I've been studying a lot on campus and at SCU, I've been pulling quite a few missions to the BEST coffee shop on earth (yes it's THAT amazing), PHILZ!  It's got to be the Bay Area's best place for coffee. Period.

Honestly, words cannot describe my love for Philz Coffee. It's just amazing. Perfect every time. Hand made to your liking. Absolutely delicious. The baristas there are so friendly and the atmosphere just draws me in. It's like going on a mini pilgrimage every time I head on over there for my fix of Ambrosia! Yes, coffee of the gods, I'm telling you, it really is that good.

My absolute favorite drink is Ambrosia - medium sweet & with light cream. It's just... wow.  It's Christmas in my mouth.  It's got hints of nuttiness and a very caramel-y taste to it. It's unique. I love it. It's definitely the one to try if you're going for the first time.

Other options I recommend are Jacob's Wonderbar (very chocolatey dark roast) and It'z the Best (which is  a medium roast with hints of dark). Honestly though, I don't think you can go wrong with whatever drink you decide to try because they're all yummy. And if you're incredibly confused about what to order, you can ask the barista.  They're so friendly and helpful, they'll definitely be able to find something to fit your liking. 

If you're near San Francisco/Berkeley/San Jose/Palo Alto, check out one of their locations. I guarantee you won't be disappointed! I love Philz like you love [insert most loved thing here]. I just... do. It's a treat each and every time I go, and I always make sure to stop by when I'm near any of their locations.

Check it out, it's amazing. And if you don't, you're just depriving yourself of god coffee. Yes, I did mean god, not good.

If you read this post and thought I was crazy for expressing my extreme love for Philz, well, I assume that you have not yet tried it. So go on, try it, then tell me what you think!

Philz = Love.
