Lake City Espresso Explorers

Nestled in the former Territoral Wild West of Coeur d'Alene, a place where the scent of pine needles dances with the aroma of freshly ground coffee beans, arise the Lake City Espresso Explorers. This ragtag assembly of caffeine connoisseurs are on a quasi-heroic quest to unearth the most audaciously potent espresso shots in town, all while pretending to nod appreciatively at the local barista's attempt at latte art. Aspiring to blend the rugged essence of Idaho’s logging history with the overdressed pretensions of a Victorian book club, these merry marauders gallivant from one java hole-in-the-wall to another. Like 21st-century Paul Bunyans wielding espresso shot glasses instead of axes, their mission is as cheerfully absurd as a lumberjack in skinny jeans—and twice as stimulating.
