Beach, Break and Brew: Flats at Belmar and Coffee Surf Co (originally written last Saturday)
This morning, I go up to the counter at Coffee Surf Co. and let out my typical mumble-jumble – “I’ll have uh, the uh,” – as if I’ve not been standing there for five minutes staring at the menu. Many coffee menus intimidate me with all their varieties. Latte. Frappuccino. Cappuccino. Pour over. Cold brew. Freezing brew.
