Give me caffeine! Intellegentsia’s Sugar Glider

I can’t function in the morning without a cup of coffee – the stronger & more caffeine the better. And it’s turned me into a teeny bit of a coffee snob. For the record, and to be fully transparent, I used to drink Nescafe instant… but that’s a whole other story….

I’ve recently fallen in love with Intellegentsia and have tried a couple of their blends. My favorite is the Black Cat Espresso but a close second is this Sugar Glider:

The sugar glider needs less sugar than most espresso because of it’s light and sweet notes. The brew needs a little bit less milk in my opinion as it seems a little less acidic that some of the other roasts/blends from this coffee house.

My only issue with Intellegentsia is that the closest location to me is in the heart of Silver Lake, right at Sunset Junction, where parking is hard to come by. The only lot for the building is pay only, even if you are only walking into the place to buy a bag and walking right back out.
