Vaccinate and Caffeinate at Fairley’s Pharmacy and Rosebridge Coffee

As we muddle through what feels like a perpetual pandemic, it continues to be important to get vaccinated against COVID-19. This, along with masks and social distancing, are our best weapons (or, tools, for a less aggressive vibe) to fight this virus. If you haven’t gotten your COVID vaccination yet, consider heading to Fairley’s Pharmacy for your jab. They have the Moderna vaccine available for you, and the folks at Rosebridge Coffee, located inside the pharmacy, are offering a free small cup of coffee (beans roasted by Heart Coffee Roasters), cold brew, or milk tea while you wait to get vaccinated.

So get your shot—and a shot of caffeine—all at the same time.  Sounds like a pretty good deal to me. 7206 NE Sandy Blvd, Portland

Coffee Ice Cubes at Zell’s Cafe

I stopped in at Zell’s Cafe this week and to my surprise and delight, the cold brew coffee was chilled with coffee ice cubes!

The only other place I ever encountered that used coffee ice cubes in their iced coffee was at the long-gone Wholesome Blends on NE Sandy near 46th Ave.  To me, it makes a lot of sense to use coffee ice cubes in iced coffee, in order to avoid the dilution that inevitably happens. At the same time I realize it probably adds to the bottom line. But it’s super cool when it happens.

This glass of cold brew was very tasty and refreshing. It goes for $4 and you get free refills. Plus Zell’s delicious breakfast and lunch food—those little scones they give you when you sit down are also a treat.

Thanks for doing something special, Zell’s!
