Decided to take an easy day since H wasn’t feeling a hundred percent. We cruised around town, got peinirli and a few coffees, and mostly just rested in bed and took it easy.
We did stop at the other coffee chain at the top of town, Mikel, and I attempted to order what I thought I saw some guys getting when I was in there the last time — shot of espresso and ice cubes blitzed in a blender, then poured over more ice. Espresso slushie sounds pretty good! So I ordered two “frappas” and that, unfortunately, was not what those guys were drinking. A frappa ended up being instant coffee, whipped up in a milkshake machine, and then poured over ice. Interesting idea but let’s just say Mikel’s instant coffee isn’t quite up to the standard of their normal espresso. Or Coffee Island. Or coffee.
Next time I’m just gonna ask the kid behind the counter.
