We both love to try a signature drink that you can't get at another cafe, so that is normally our go-to. For most of the year, Ky was only ordering tea and chai drinks, but is now slowly getting back into coffee. Char consumes a surprising amount of caffeine per week (they are in law school) and loves anything from tea to energy drinks to an over-the-top latte ( who doesn't love an over-the-top latte, though?)

Here are our 2026 HOPEFULS

• Barista Botanist in Pacific Beach

• Ralph Lauren Cafe in Newport Beach

• The Library Coffee House in Long Beach

(wow that's a lot of beaches)

...and of course, maybe some more cafes outside of California...

With love,

Ky & Char
