The @deathandcompany DC/AM weekend brunch is a mandatory visit for me whenever I’m in Denver. On this visit, I ordered a low-abv drink, the Corretto: Amaro, Coconut Milk, Vanilla, Espresso, & Sea Salt. Swipe left for a look at that Butter Poached Maine Lobster Benedict. #drinkwithben
Made a quick 3-day trip to Denver over this 4-day weekend for some personal R&R. After a few other stops this morning, I dropped into @saporcoffee and had their Gesha Espresso from @sweetbloomcoffee and the Saigon @spirittea as well. Great espresso and a very flavorful tea. #drinkcoffeewithben
I thoroughly enjoy when a cafe expresses their own creativity outside the lines of “purist” specialty coffee. Perhaps it’s my love of craft cocktails and mixology that also draws me towards creative beverages when I visit cafes. One of my favorite things about @horizonlinecoffee in Des Moines is their rotating seasonal mocktails. Pictured here, is a current beverage from their seasonal menu. Untitled 01, created by @kenziefaithwyatt This refreshing beverage consists of a blackberry and pear reduction, Saigon from @spirittea , tonic water, and sage garnish. It’s delicious, light, and refreshing.
If you weren’t following my stories, I made the trip back to Omaha a few days ago after completing my work trip to California. One of the things I was very much looking forward to is visiting @rallycoffeeco for the first time since they opened after I left. I have to give a big shoutout to my pal, Ian, for all of his hard work in building this brand and cafe in a way that really exemplifies the qualities and ideals important to him when it comes to coffee and hospitality. Cheers to my bro. #drinkcoffeewithben
For me, tea is usually a refreshing option when I’ve had too much coffee after visiting multiple cafes in one day. “The Bliss” at @templecoffee is nothing short of its given name. A blend of peppermint tea, coconut milk & honey steamed in soy, this is a warm and refreshing beverage for the season. #drinkcoffeewithben
To my disappointment, everyone did not have a handlebar mustache. I can get down with an all female staff as well though. #drinkcoffeewithben

Cheers to walking down random alleyways to sweet coffee shops. Gotta thank @thelittleblackcoffeecup for the recommendation. #drinkcoffeewithben
Ampersand ftw.

This cafe has been on my list to visit since 2015 and I finally made it in for a visit. Incredibly delicious Gesha espresso and “The 9” iced coffee at @barninela #drinkcoffeewithben
