There's always that one (or maybe two..umm lets say three) class that you just can't bring yourself to attend let alone sit through for 2 hours!! So you ultimately try to find the perfect escape! And for us it was always at the awesome 'Caribou Coffee' café in Hamra street. The place was always there but we never really payed much attention to the rest of the yummy things they had on the menu, we just went with plain Ol' Mocha...typical stuff. BUT, whole and behold, one day we decided to try something 'daring' called a "Berry White Mocha" , now yeah you might think berries and coffee, is that a good mix, let me tell you something IT SURE IS! One of the yummiest drinks I've ever had! Berries mixed with mocha, with a coating of whipped cream and topped with your choice of chocolate chips (white chocolate was our favorite and best choice really) and you got yourself a drink to die for! Throw in a slice of their Cheescake ( from the amazing Cheesecake Factory) and you're good to go. What a delight it was to know that we had a ditchable class during the week because that always meant 'YAY CARIBOU TIME!!'
I'd say we became somewhat regulars over there, ordering the same thing usually and permanently stamping our presence.
Interesting fact- the first time we discovered the beauty that is a 'Berry white Mocha' we always ordered it 'hot' , little did we know that there was a 'cold' version of the drink and OH MY GOD it was simply ecstatic to find that out. The hot drink is usually enjoyable on those chilly winter days when you're all wrapped up in your coat and scarf and you just want to feel warm on the inside, whereas the cold one was the best way to quench that thirst you get on those ; hot, humid summer days in Beirut!
Nothing can take away the awesome times we had at 'Caribou' with many more to come hopefully!
