Our Koffee Trail: Chocolate Iguana
Date: May 30, 2025
Location: Chocolate Iguana, Tucson, AZ
Rating: ❤️ (Love)
As kids Mik and I used to go to Chocolate Iguana regularly for candy. Back then it used to be located on 4th Avenue and was a short walk from our house (or drive in our toy Jeep back when we fit in that). It has moved several times over the years and is now way on the north side of town, but ended up being convenient to check out the current location this trip as we stayed in that area.
We mainly stopped in because Mik wanted to get some candy. The selection was not quite as good as we remember, but there were still some of our favorites including Zotz, Hubba Bubba, and C. Howards.
We also decided to get drinks and shared a large pistachio muffin.
Mom got an Iced Pistachio Latte and I got an Iced Dubai Latte.
Mik got a Passion Fruit Italian Cream Soda.
Dad had the speciality, the Chocolate Iguana, which is chocolate milk with espresso and mint chocolate chip ice cream.
Mik also got a Red Velvet Muffin to take back to the hotel for latter.

Our Koffee Trail: Copper Kettle Coffee
Date: May 29, 2025
Location: Copper Kettle Coffee, Deming, NM
Rating: 👍 (Like, no Decaf)
We started our day in Las Cruces, which had quite a few interesting looking coffeeshops, but none were open when we were ready to hit the road at 6:30am. Thus, we decided to stop in Deming for coffee instead.
Copper Kettle Coffee was conveniently located not far off the exit in the downtown Main Street area of Deming.
They had a wide assortment of Torani flavors including about 8 to 10 sugar free options. I got a Toasted Marshmallow Latte, Dad got a Flat White w/ Oat Milk, Mom got an Iced Caramel Cappuccino, and Mik got an Iced Cookie Dough Latte. We enjoyed having a variety of flavors to choose from, but I was disappointed they did not have decaf.

Our Koffee Trail: HeBrews Coffee & Eats
Date of Visit: May 27, 2025
Location: HeBrews Coffee & Eats, Rayville, LA
Rating: ❤️ (Love)
This morning we ended up at Starbucks for our first cup of coffee because it was right next to the hotel and with the hour tornado delay yesterday and more storms to go through this morning, we choose not go 15 minutes each way off the route for the closest local option. As we got through the storms, I started looking for an option for our second cup and found HeBrew Coffee & Eats was not far off the I-20.
Having previewed the menu, I originally planned to get the Bayou Mocha Latte or the Old Oak Latte (brown sugar cinnamon and mocha latte). Once we got there and I saw the descriptions for the Seasonal Lattes, though, it was a tough decision between Cherry Blossom Latte and Dubai Latte (pistachio chocolate). I ended up with an Iced Dubai Latte as I love pistachio lattes.
Mom got an Iced Cherry Blossom Latte and Mik got an Iced Pelican Latte (brown sugar cinnamon and honey). They both enjoyed them, but Mik wished he had gotten a large, which is very unusual because he always gets a regular/grande size and sometimes does not even finish that.
Dad got a Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie.
If the time of day works out right on the way home, we will definitely be stopping at HeBrews Coffee & Eats again so I can try a different latte and Mik can get a larger one next time. Only bummer was they don't do decaf, but they can do half-caf.

Date: May 26, 2025
Location: C3 Coffee Co, Conway, SC
Rating: 👍 (Like)
We did not get on the road as close to 5am as planned, but that meant that we hit Conway right after 6am, so we could get C3 Coffee Co. instead of Starbucks.
Dad and I both enjoyed the seasonal Blueberry Muffin Latte. Might have to go when we are back home to have again.
We got Mom the seasonal Chocolate Cheese Puff Cold Brew, which both Mik and her enjoyed sharing (Mik doesn't like getting anything not in a bottle when in the car).
Mik enjoyed the Bacon Croissant Breakfast Sandwich once it cooled off enough to eat.

Snow in Myrtle Beach
Not the first time we've seen snow in Myrtle Beach, but by far the most and longest lasting. Mik even wanted to go outside and get some pictures in the snow. Unfortunately, it was too dry to be able to make a snowman.

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.

Our Koffee Trail: Java Drip Coffee
Date of Visit: June 29, 2024
Location: Java Drip Coffee, Gallup, NM
Rating: ❤️ (Love)
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.

Our Koffee Trail: Cafe Maggie
Location: Cafe Maggie, Tucson, AZ
Rating: ❤️ (Love)
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.
