The past couple days have seen me do a lot of driving. None of the trips turned to be quite as worthwhile as this one. Anodyne is now pulling away as my favorite coffeehouse. You should see the spread I have going here, for a grand total of six bucks: a small mug of drip coffee--which I consider to be Milwaukee's authoritative drip--at the wallet-friendly price of $1.20; a soy latte in a pint glass; and a day-old banana muffin, which I've already devoured ($1.25). The soy latte must have cost about $3.50, which is a great deal for that particular drink in this size. Its taste, too, is authoritative. It's the best of both worlds: tell your spouse/accountant that you're trading down, and tell your palate that you're trading up!
Another amazing thing about this place is the fact that they really push ceramic plates and mugs. I've even seen a couple of the ubiquitous kid's hot chocolates served in little ceramic mugs. (Usually, an ersatz "sippy cup" is crafted by sticking a straw through the hole of a small paper cup lid.)
