Regular down here in So. Cal. is black caffeinated coffee. Can't really avoid the Starbucks down here since there's one every half mile. When I go there I get the blond roasts because I like the higher caffeine content. I also like Adams Avenue coffee, a local specialty grind popular in Newport Beach and Huntington Beach. At home I use my Keurig machine and make coffee with unsweetened almond milk and stevia or Splenda. There's a lot of flavor choices with those Keurig K-cups.
I hear ya about the Starbucks on every corner. So wuz goin on down there in Huntington ? I heard of a bomb threat did it really stop them from surfing?
It was a stupid 16 y.o. kid who made a threat. I haven't gone for several years, but the best part, of course, is the bikini contest. I don't know if that is still going on since the riot a year or two ago. They scaled things down and there's a heavy police presence. It was mostly idiots from L.A. who caused the trouble, mostly ultra left-wing anarchist groups. Then once the action started the drunken partiers got into the melee.
