Honoring military service members at Half Baked this Veteran’s Day

My sister was home on leave from the Air Force when the first plane struck the Twin Towers.

I was taking a half-day off from school so my mom, sister, cousin and myself could go to the fair. I was the first student to class, getting there early to take a quiz I would miss that afternoon. My favorite teacher, Mr. D’Agrosa, greeted me. He was from the New York area and had a daughter living there.

“Katie, have you seen this?” He asked, deep sorrow in his voice.

Half Baked is one of only 200 locations in the United States where you can devour PT’s Coffee’s exceptional products. PT’s Coffee is a micro-roaster out of Topeka, KS. They have been recognized as Roast Magazine‘s 2009 Roaster of the Year, and are among the leading roasters reviewed by industry resource Coffee Review, with over 15 coffee blends scoring 94/100 and above, which is outstanding. And this past year PT’s placed second in the ‘Best Coffee Shop in America’ competition at Coffee Fest Chicago.

So how exactly did Half Baked choose a coffee roasting company from Kansas? Stuart and I used to work at a coffee shop and developed an intense love for good coffee, and Emily is an adventurer always searching for the best of the best. Once upon a day while exploring and experiencing new places, the best tasting latte was had by Emily. It was PT’s Flying Monkey Espresso. PT’s describes the espresso as extremely balanced, yet playful. It features notes of smooth chocolate, honey, and graham cracker, which creates a beautiful harmony of flavors. Imagine experiencing this mouth-pleasing caffeinated deliciousness for the first time. There were fireworks and everything.
