I already did another coffee stop in Harrison Hot Springs; this one, on the other hand, is probably considered the hip one in town. At the very least, the long line seemed to indicate this was the case.

One reason for this is the fact that they pretty much have everything, so calling them a coffee spot is a huge understatement. The question should be what don't they have... burgers, ice cream, beer, hot breakfast, espresso, candy apples, sandwiches and hey! they also have a small selection of their own home-made baked goods such as monster muffins, brownies, scones, and other similar squares. Not that much, but then again, it's amazing they manage to sneak these in onto their repertoire.

I decided on the cranberry almond bar. It's something different and cranberry is, for whatever reason, not the most common fruit in a square. I always like it; they're a little tart and add punch to something more subtle like oats and granola. This one was pretty good actually; the chunks of almonds mixed in with the crumble top and then the cranberries which still had some shape to it (it wasn't just an overly sweetened jam) -- I was impressed.
