\u201cI stop drinking the coffee, I stop doing the standing, and the walking and the words-putting into sentence doing.\u201d \u2013 Lorelei Gilmore<\/p>\n

We have concluded yet another fun Java Journey and we had so much fun and had some great coffee while we were out!<\/p>\n

Thanks to the crew at Visit Lebanon Valley for putting this together. This was a fun journey. So many great coffee shops here in the Valley. And it was a pleasure to see them busy as we completed the journey. And new for this year, we LOVED the stickers! Bring them back next year.<\/p>\n

As promised, we will reveal our top three secret drinks from this year\u2019s journey. But first there are a couple of honorable mentions:<\/p>\n

Cookie Dough Latte \u2013 Ancestor Cornwall<\/p>\n

Gnome Nectar \u2013 Whirling Dervish<\/p>\n

Furry Fig Latte \u2013 Perky Shepherd Coffee Shop.<\/p>\n

Here are our top three secret drinks from this year\u2019s Java Journey.<\/p>\n

<\/a>3. Traditional Bicerin\u2013 The Timeless Caf\u00e9<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Once again opting to be unique in their secret drink choice, this drink is not for everybody but was very enjoyable for us. This drink combines the espresso, ganache and whipped cream in distinct layers. Getting all three flavors delivers a great taste.<\/p>\n

<\/a>2. Honeycomb Drizzle Latte \u2013 Timber Creek Coffee<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In 2023 and 2024 this was the Java Journey Participant choice winner. A sweet honeycomb flavor that was subtle in flavor and enhanced by the bonus sweet treat. It hit our tastebuds strong this year.<\/p>\n

<\/a>1. Brown Butter Almond Brickle Latte \u2013 The Clay House Cafe<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For the second year in a row, the secret drink from here was our top choice. From flavor to consistency, it continues to be strong on flavor and enjoyment.<\/p>\n
