Drive-thru java

CoffeeShack.jpg I've seen these cute little drive-thru coffee shacks on two different trips now -- in and around Anchorage and also Seattle.

They look like garden sheds, only spiffed up. You'll find them in suburban shopping mall parking lots and tucked around the bend on country roads.

This isn't one of the better ones I saw, just the one I saw when I had my camera in hand. Some are shaped like coffee pots. Others have cute names that play on coffee words like mocha and espresso. They're often decorated with crazy bumper stickers and/or signs.

It must be a Pacific Northwest thing. But seriously, why don't we have these on the East Coast?

We have drive-thru everything else these days.

There is a coffee place like this on Route 30 East between Lancaster and Gap.

Thanks for the tip Jason! I'm headed that direction Saturday so I'll have to keep my eyes open!

There is a place in West York along Market Street called Latte Da. Drove past it and it seems that it may have a drive thru, unless that is just from the buildings previous use.

I liked Mocca-motive! and the one shaped like a teapot!

Thanks for this nice post. Really enjoyed reading it. Keep up the good work.
