Here’s a little bit more about Dax:
.
Q: Tell us about your baristas choice drink.
A: I wanted to do a fun summer drink. I realized that not many places sell Sangria. We are known for our coffee. Why not promote our wine. A discussion happened with the boss and it went from there.
.
Q: What’s a fun fact about yourself?
A: Fun fact: I used to be fem. Hair, nails, makeup. For real dudes. I got pictures to prove it. Somewhere. 🙂
.
Q: Cats or Dogs?
A: Tough. I love both. Maybe one day I could have both. Not now. But considering my roommate’s cat wanted to play Curious George in my room at 4 am, Dog.
.
Q: Beach or Mountains?
A: Another tough one. Mountains. I love the trees. Love nature. Calm. Quiet. Reflection. Beaches are the best during the offseason.
.
Q: What’s your favorite drink to order in cafés right now?
A: Iced Americano all the way.
.
Q: What book(s) are you reading right now?
A: I’m always on the go, so little time to read. But I love Haruki Murakami books.
.
Q: Favorite alt. Milk?
A: Don’t drink alt milks. But hemp. Curious about macadamia nut milk.
.
Q: Go-to Latte art?
A: I was killing the heart one for a moment. Now it sorta looks like Salvador Dali interpretation.
.
Q: Favorite herbal tea?
A: Hmmm. I really like our Raspberry Herbal tea at Open Eye.
.
Q: Favorite Carrboro Coffee Roasters coffee?
A: The COE Nicaragua roast.

?APRIL BARISTA HIGHLIGHT | Meet Will ?? And meet his Barista’s choice creation, the “Espresso Sour.” ? It is being featured all of April, so come try it and let us know what you think! We think it’s delicious ?

.
Here’s a little Q&A with Will:
Q: Tell us about your baristas choice drink.
A: My Barista’s Choice drink is the Espresso Sour! Inspired by the classic cocktail genre, it features espresso paired with lemon juice and rosemary-infused simple syrup over ice with a splash of Q Soda. I thought up the Espresso Sour because I think our espresso pairs really nicely with citrus, and so I wanted to showcase this in a fun refreshing drink that’s perfect for the new spring season.

.
Q: Cats or Dogs?
A: I like both but I’m probs more of a cat person.
.
Q: Beach or Mountains?
A: Beach is better.
.
Q: What’s your favorite drink to order in cafés right now?
A: Espresso or a cortado if I’m feeling decadent
.
Q: What book(s) are you reading right now?
A: The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros (shouts-out Driade bookclub) & Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami
.
Q: Favorite alt. Milk?
A: Soy. It’s not as hip as oat but I think it complements the espresso without overpowering it
.
Q: Go-to Latte art?
A: Working on my tulips right now
.
Q: Favorite herbal tea?
A: 8. Rooibos all day
.
Q: Favorite Carrboro Coffee Roasters coffee?
A: Probs the Ethiopia Yergz. I love the way the citrusy profile transforms as it cools and the tart lemon notes become almost like meyer lemon
