Duchess

Since I was stuck at home today with two boys and had to be back in time to help my daughter change into her figure skater Halloween costume by noon, I decided to stay local and go to Duchess for cappuccino number 2. Phew, this is hard work.

First off, as cookie cutter predictable that Starbucks is, Duchess is the complete and utter opposite. It is the only bake shop of its kind in Edmonton. So it already has an upper hand. But, wanting to stay true to my challenge, I did not let the cute decor and unbelievably tasty treats sway me. Although I did order a scone. Melted in my mouth. Delish.

Now, on to the cappuccino. I have had a cappuccino there almost every week since it opened and I have always enjoyed them. The foam is perfect and the drink is delectable. I still added a little bit of sugar, but barely. And it is also the perfect size. Anyone who knows me will know that I rarely finish a drink. There will always be a few sips left. I don't know why. But not with a Duchess cappuccino.

Overall, I would take this cappuccino over most on any given day. So as of right now, it goes to the top of the list.
