Location: JoCo Coffee Co., Selma, NC
I considered finding another coffeeshop to stop at for our 2nd coffee on the way to D.C., but we really enjoyed this place in October and the convenience that it is right off the I-95.
Mom and Dad had the Pumpkin Spice Latte. I had the Gingerbread Latte.

Location: Grand Strand Coffee, Myrtle Beach, SC
Mom, Dad, Mik, and I enjoyed a Sunday walk to Grand Strand Coffee. I got my favorite fall drink there, which is the Maple Pumpkin Spice Latte (iced as it did not feel like fall today). Mom got iced coffee, Mik got the Pan Van Latte, and Dad got the Lavender Haze Latte.

Location: JoCo Coffee Co., Selma, NC
We did end up with Starbucks for our first coffee of the day as it is the only option when we start road trips at around 5:30am from home. When we were ready for a second cup, Dad asked if I wanted Caribou at the Kenly Truck Stop that we have often stopped at between Myrtle Beach and D.C. Instead I decided to see if I could find a local coffeeshop on our route and I managed to find JoCo Coffee in just enough time for Dad to take the exit for it.
JoCo Coffee is located inside the Old North State Food Hall and is conveniently just off the I-95. Only the coffeeshop was open when we stopped in around 9am, but there are several food places inside that make this look like it would be a good place to stop for lunch or dinner another time we are passing through.
I got a Caramel Apple Latte, Mom got an Iced Coffee w/ Sugar Free Caramel, and Dad got just a coffee.

Location: 2nd & Main Coffeehouse, Niles, MI
Mom and Dad visited 2nd & Main Coffeehouse to kill time waiting for their appointment at the DMV for the boat registration.
Mom had a coffee flight that included Iced Apple Pie Latte, Iced Pumpkin Brown Sugar Latte, Maple Cheesecake Cold Brew, and Iced Pumpkin Chai. Her favorite was the Maple Cheesecake Cold Brew. She now thinks we should stop here every time we go to the cottage.
To eat, Dad had the Caprese Toast and Mom had apple nachos.
Dad had an Oat Milk Flat White.

Location: Java Drip Coffee, Gallup, NM
Last night we noticed a coffeeshop named Thanx a Latte when exploring Holbrook, Arizona, where we stayed the night. We considered going there before hitting the road this morning, but it was not open on the weekend. In searching where we could go instead, I found Java Drip Coffee in Gallup.
When I showed Dad the picture of the place, he called it the coffee shack. It is a good description, but it is also a good design for a small drive through place, especially since it was set up to have a window on each side so could take the order on one side while finishing up the other side's order.
The menu has a lot of variety. When we were stopping, Mik said he did not want anything, but then he saw the menu and decided he needed to try something, too.
I had a Toasted Marshmallow Latte.
Mom had an Iced Black & White Mocha.
Mik had an Iced Turtle Pie.

Location: Cafe Maggie, Tucson, AZ
Cafe Maggie is what used to be Epic Cafe when we lived in Tucson. It was one of Mik's favorite places to go in our neighborhood. Thus, when visiting Tucson for his 30th birthday, it was a must to stop in.
Mom, Mik, and I got Peanut Butter Mochas, which back in 2020 and Dad and I were in town and found Epic closed were afraid would no longer be available. We later learned they just went under a change in ownership and name, but kept the menu...or at least our favorite stayed!
Dad got a Dirty Horchata.

Location: City Mini Golf, Chicago, IL
No one could come up with an idea of what to do and Nora suggested mini golf. We told her this isn't Myrtle Beach and that wasn't an option here. When there were still no ideas, Kirsten decided to search mini golf Chicago and was surprised to find there was one not far away in Maggie Daley Park.
