Childhood delights

Some flavors immediately take me back to childhood, and The Graham latte at 18 Grams Coffee & Tea in Elk Grove is no exception. One sip of the honey, cinnamon and vanilla blend and I’m a kid again. It’s as if I’m sitting in front of grandma’s roaring fireplace in my robe and bunny slippers eating a plate of crunchy graham crackers and licking off a frothy milk mustache from my upper lip. A tasty memory, but thank goodness The Graham latte has a vital ingredient missing from grandma’s plate of goodies: A double shot of espresso to shake off the nostalgia and get my butt back to work. 9677 E.
