Weekend coffee round-up:  The cold brew roast from Birch is fantastic.

This Vita Cafe vanilla coconut water coffee is pretty darn good.

And the vanilla iced latte from Panera is no good, terrible, very bad.  <– it was so sweet it was practically caustic, and that was with “light on syrup” and extra espresso!

Saturday, Adam and I spent the day in Astoria.  We finally got to check out the Museum of the Moving Image, which had a great Jim Henson exhibit running.

Plus we got a sprinkle cookie from Chip.

Spent some time at the gorgeous newer, bigger Kinship.  <– maple cold brew, for the win

And got brunch at Queens Comfort.  We shared the cornflake crusted chicken and waffle with maple tabasco glaze.

And the Super Marios Benedict – cheesy cheddar chicken patty, home fries, poached egg, and hollandaise.

Home-based highlights include a yogurt bowl for work – lemon Chobani, sour lemon raisins, blackberries, and strawberry granola minis.

Cocktail hour.  Sprite, grapefruit seltzer, and vodka.

Chicken hash bowls.

Duck fat / shredded chicken / yellow onion / spring onion / red bell pepper / arugula / tater tots / cream cheese / smoked paprika / and a fried egg.
