Cold Coffee Throwdown

Baristas and coffeeheads from all over town are converging at Medici Roasting in Springdale General to participate in this competition to see who can concoct the yummiest cold beverage using premium java and that new coconut milk from Califia. Of course there’s a panel of industry judges, but there’s also a crowd favorite to be decided – which is where you and your excellent taste come in, O caffeine-fueled connoisseur: right there among the tony shops and cultural flair of this Eastside marketplace. – Wayne Alan Brenner
