6 offee is no longer just a choice between caffeinated and decaffeinated, cream or sugar. Coffee shops springing up everywhere pro- vide the cus- tomer with exot- ic freshly ground beans, coffee with cin- namon, rich, chocolate syrups, iced coffee or fra- pucchinos home- made cookies or bagels to go along with that cup, and often an assortment of little gift ideas for the coffee-holic. Z:). bUBLE-SHORT-SKINNY-MOCHA-LATTE, EXTRA FOAM, UP! CALLS THE BARISTA FROM BEHIND THE COUNTER. NEWCOMERS TO COFFEE SHOPS AROUND CAMPUS MIGHT BE A LITTLE BEWILDERED AT THE ORDERS RING- ING THROUGH THE AIR TO MORE EXPE- RIENCED JAVA LOVERS. HOW DO YOU MAKE THE BEVERAGE ABOVE? MAYBE THIS FORMULA WILL HELP: - (3 OZ. ESPRESSO, = = 30SEC.)-K7 OZ.SKIM MILK @ 160 DEGREES) -I- (2 OZ. CHOCO LATE syrup) -(- ( 1 oz. milk foam @ 140 degrees) maybe not. raleigh ' s coffee scene has come a long way in the past few years, and the simple distinction of regular or decaf does- n ' t take the cake anymore. now you decide between cappucino and espresso, latte or granita. hot or iced, guatemalan or kenyan beans... the choices to make the perfect cup go on and on. in recent years the number of places to buy that cup has gone up quite a bit, too. Students need only brave the dan- gers OF crossing Hillsborough Street TO see State ' s growing number of coffee shops. The very first to open was KEAGAN ' S; the SMALL, QUIET SHOP WHERE YOU CAN WATCH THE MILLS OF MORNING TRAFFIC FROM ITS COUNTER AND CHAIRS FACING THE STREET. Next is the ever-popular Cup A Joe, the SMOKER ' S paradise WHERE THEY ACTUALLY ROAST THEIR OWN BEANS. It WASN ' T TOO LONG BEFORE THE NATION- al coffee giants decided to come to NC State. Caribou Coffee came to hang ITS HAT ON Hillsborough St two years - ago to offer STUDENTS A TASTE OF THE WESTERN BORN COFFEE. OF COURSE, ITS NATIONAL RIVAL, STARBUCK ' S, COULDN ' T LET THAT SLIDE, SO THEY SET UP OP THIS PAST YEAR JUST ONE BLOCK AWAY. Despite the myriad of coffees and SHOPS TO choose FROM. ANY COFFEE LOVER WILL TELL YOU THAT IT IS ONE OF THE SIMPLEST PLEA- SURES OF ALL. Whether with friends or alone TO POUR over the MORNING NEWSPAPER, THE COFFEE SHOPS OF HILLSBOROUGH ARE AN ESCAPE FROM THE DAILY SCHOLASTIC GRIND, A HAVEN FROM DREARY RESPONSIBILITIES. THE DOOR CLOSES BEHIND YOU, THE WHINE OF TRAFFIC IS REPLACED BY MURMURING VOICES AND SOFT MUSIC. YOU CAN SEEP INTO A MOMENT THAT IS BROWN, BITTERSWEET, AND MOST IMPOR- TANTLY, ALL YOUR OWN. IT SEEMS ALL TOO SOON BEFORE THE BOTTOM OF THE CUP IS STARING BACK AT YOU WITH ITS WHITE EMPTINESS. HEY, AT LEAST THE REFILLS ARE CHEAP. Photos by Erin Beach 4V Coffee Shop 4U
