Most training rides these days tend to be planned out around having the mid ride cafe. Nothing fuels and feels better than to pull up to the local cafe on a bike, walk in to the cafe bar in some cool looking spandex (getting all kinds of looks by other fellow coffee drinkers) and order up a shot of espresso (un cafe). Down the hatch it goes and out the door to spin the wheels some more. The un cafe stop also serves as a bathroom break for some mid ride weight loss and a water bottle refill point. I have been known to stop for un cafe on the really hot days and the really cold days, it tastes oh so good no matter what the weather is like. Since I have done this quite often, there is a deserving cafe in my mind that deserves some recognition. Better Brew in Pine Island has probably the best espresso in southeast MN. Other places either don't make it right, serve it in a paper cup (Caribou, WTF?????) or their coffe is horrible. Dunn bros is Ok but usually serve their cafe too hot. If I can't make a point to hit Better Brew on a ride, I make one with my mint Cafe Roma machine a casa mia! With the best coffee and perfect brewing method using their super cool La Cimbali cafe machine, and the best roads around to train on, Better Brew is the heat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stop and get yours today, its only $1.41. Signing off to go make un cafe!
Porco Cane!
