You forgot espresso ristretto, espresso con panna - espresso topped with a whipped cream. And hot chocolate milano - super thick and smooth liquid chocolate topped with whipped cream. Café Nero is coffee heaven.

[Jenny]

wow...that was some comix, lol I never thought there was so many different types of coffee. Now I'll be able to know what to order.

[Julie]

i started drinking coffee as a baby b/c my mom put it in my bottle mixed with milk, so ive always drankit, but now i finaly understand the differences between the types of coffee.

[Natasha]

i love this comic. so cuuute! and even though i've had plenty of coffee experience, i now have a bit of a clearer understanding of the difference between a latte & a cappuccino. :3

[T]

It's hilarious when someone orders an espresso not knowing what it is.

[KarmaKutie]

What a cute comic! It's so original... and I love Kiki Jones' work! And for some reason I am really craving Starbucks, now. Hm... I wonder why? o_O

[Erika]

i thought it was a cute but tacky comic, oh and when she said that she needed to pick out a cute outfit, she wore the same thing!!!

[Jessica]

[Janesssa]

Coffee is a little hard to understand.This helped alot.
This was a cute comix.

[stellae]

YAY!!! OTHER people order hot chocolate at coffee houses too!! That makes me feel a lot better. :)

[giuli707]

Im not really a coffee lover, but I have had a starbucks latte once. I just love the idea of going to get a coffee, sitting down at the cafe, you know...not necesarily ordering coffee...hehe

[Mistress Dizzy]

Heh. I work at one of those, and I wish I could like.. print out this comic and put it on the menu so people know what they're ordering. ^__^ Really cute stuff, absolutely adorable.

[lexi]

[XxBlack-and-PinkxX]

i hate coffee

ick
the smell of coffee even makes me sick
so

[Crysta A.]

I thought I would have to stop going on Gurl b/c of Rachel Nabor's departure, but it looks like I have a new comic love. Long live Kiki Jones!

[Ariel]

This was so cute! I'm actually barista too, making funky new drinks is the best part of my job!

[simona]

thanks kiki, i didnt know all that! thx a bunch now i know whats in the drinks and wat im going to order at starbucks!
(btw my last name is jones too! just had to let you know...)

[Lotus]

Cute comic, but it irks me simply because a serious coffee/tea enthusiast should know that it's just "chai", not "chai tea". "Chai tea" is like saying "chai tea tea".

For the record.

[Simone]

Haha, that was cute! I'm a barista... and making crazy drinks like the rainbow thing is the best part of the job!!! haha

[Mandi]

Thank Blog for this, I had no idea! XD

[Nona]

I always get a Hot Chocoalte at Starbucks, becuase I don't know what else is good...=)
