Nothing goes better with coffee than...

While many people feel that coffee should be a drink that you have first thing in the morning as you rush off to work, there are even more people that feel that coffee should be enjoyed and savored. Coffee is great as a solo act but it really has star power when it has an assistant or two. Coffee is best enjoyed with _________. But what really goes great with coffee?

I like a good oatmeal raisin cookie with a half caff 130 degree latte with no foam. Or, how about coffee cake? That is why that call it that, right? Undeniably, chocolate is a great companion to any cup of coffee. Amy really loves chocolate. She got me this coffee mug to make sure that I knew that she loves me more. If you love chocolate as much as Amy, our friends at Chocolate.com - The World's Largest Chocolate Marketplace can satisfy your chocolate cravings.

I think that anything sweet will be a sure fire winner with coffee. But, what about salty or savory? A slice of New York or Chicago style pizza with an espresso? A California Roll with a double shot americano? They sound like they would go good together, because pizza Italian ~ cappuccino Italian / sushi west coast ~ coffee west coast, but I'm not sure they really go together. Maybe afterwards, but not during. Ever notice that you don't see coffee bars at the movies? Would you want a chi latte with a tub of buttery popcorn? With a movie sized chocolate bar, yes. With an order of nachos, I don't think so. I guess perhaps the Cappuccino Jelly Belly jelly beans would be ok too.

I love coffee just as much as the next coffee lover, but there are just some things that make it more enjoyable than others. Really, I think that nothing goes better with coffee than another cup and a friend to drink it with you. Coffee is a social drink. It brings people together and incites conversation. So, next time you're having coffee grab a brownie and split it with a friend. It doesn't get any better than that.
