And that's the only thing I agree with in Hermit's post! I've been to the Meredith Bay Coffee House twice since they opened a few weeks ago. The first time I got a cinnamon roll, and it was excellent. On my second visit I tried a raspberry/almond roll (like cinnamon, but with rasp/alm instead) and it was even better. (That's right, better than excellent.)

The coffee was also fine. I did notice that it was a bit more "robust" on my second visit, which I prefer, but still great both times. Definitely better than DD, and on par with McD's. The MB Coffee House is located on the right, .6 miles south of McDonalds on Rt 3 (in the old furniture store/house).

A word about Starbucks VIA packets: They taste just like fresh-brewed coffee; so much so that we sometimes make them right in our thermal carafe instead of brewing a regular pot. The packets say they're a combination of 100% Natural Roasted Instant and Microground Coffee, and you'll actually see the coffee sediment at the bottom of the empty cup. Cost is about $1 per cup/packet, but they're worth it.

UNRELATED QUESTION: Can anyone explain why my avatar penguins are not moving? The front one is supposed to push the approaching one into the water. Broadhopper has a Propeller that moves, and it's the same format as my "image" (gif). Any advice would be appreciated (webmaster has not responded).
