I have discovered Heaven...

...and unfortunately, it's located in Hell.

I'm now madly in love with Starbucks' Mocha Frappuccino. However, I don't want to support "the Man". So...I need suggestions. I'm a coffee-tard so I have no clue what I'm talking about, really, and I'm not very educated on what's what in the coffee world. But that's beside the point, I guess.

So, tell me this...what, if anything, can I get at a local establishment (Firefly, Dash-In, etc.) that can compare or even beat a Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino? I must know.

I thank you in advance!

I have found that while many local brewhouses all can make a decent mocha, it is the faint bitterness to Starbucks beans that have a certain aftertaste that makes theirs special.

MMMMMMM.

Try a white chocolate next time.

I also dig the Firefly and Old Crown for flavor.

Damn I need a coffee...STAT.

Best cup f straight house coffee in town is down in Waynedale at the Dragon's Keep. Firefly has some damn fine mocha and smoothies. FOr me a coffeeshop is mostly about atmosphere, something these two have in spades and Starbuck's is severely lacking.

And cheaper, I hope? I can't afford $3.91 a pop when I have a 2-Frap habit per day.
