ask us all the time you know is there starbucks there i can’t live without starving i think we’re really like a teeny tiny town yeah listen we are hustling with coffee you don’t portland seattle all those places have nothing on us they really don’t they don’t i mean prescott has it all uh we have the the fast food type of coffee like yeah starbucks and all that and then we have just independent independence we have changed independent coffee houses that are just awesome so just to be clear let’s start with starbucks yes we have like six yeah starbucks locations yes we have starbucks in most of our grocery stores uh we have a starbucks on each highway yes we have a starbucks right by our office i’m very familiar with them right i frequent them i frequent them frequently however i have to say one of my newer favorite ones is uh a new uh it’s a chain it’s a new no no but where are they in general in the united states they’re just starting to come here we know they’re in prescott and chino valley we’re short i love scooter shout out to you scooter shout out to you good service speedy service speedy service and you know what i like the best they know who i am now yeah they’re like hey pickle lady how’s it going today yeah absolutely i need a big coffee because i’ve got a big day with some buyers they’re very very fast they’re very very good i’ve never had an order screwed up nope uh they do the payment through the app which is really cool yeah they get it right the first time and their business is primarily drive through which i know is absolutely essential for you it is essential for me yeah if you don’t have a drive-through the pickled ladies not buying no i don’t have because i don’t have time yeah but we also have dutch brothers which is huge as well yeah they are also my favorite super cheerful people super pop super up super lots of things lots of good music they have started down in phoenix i’m not sure we found out about it because our daughter was at asu very popular at asu drinking lots of coffee drinks and starting to have severe heart palpitations yeah so we kind of had to cut back on that for her we’re like hey maybe you’re hitting it a little too hard yeah they do uh energy drinks energy drinks with coffee yeah yeah she was over doing a little bit try the kokomo if you’ve never been at the dutch brothers try the kokomo it’s a coconut uh mocha coffee thing and uh really really good really really good so what else do we have oh a local one is cuppers covers is a local uh coffee shop yeah that’s locally owned and they are all so good let’s see what else but bosa is a new one both sides you can go in and get donuts and coffee and we haven’t been there yet but we need to try i have you have yeah yeah we headed into the office so i tried their donuts they’re done they’re always together it’s always weird if you like fluffy doughnuts if you will have another wine down about donuts i don’t think you’re looking for donuts to be fluffy but evidently some people are and they’re donuts are described as marvelously fluffy but i hear their coffee is also very good their uh cake donuts are very good so that’s bo sappos is new so i guess they’re bosa nova aha i like it yeah that’s funny let’s try the veal okay the other good thing is that they have a lot of independent coffee shops here that are very charming lots of people go there for little business meetings uh students go there to yeah work friends go there just to have a nice quiet little place yeah so you mentioned you mentioned cuppers so first one it’s locally owned locally they have a really nice place on montezuma that has like a little courtyard uh so good to bring the dog and just have the outdoors so uh wild iris is another wild iris very cute we brought it
