Surprised at the Recipes and the Editing...
Due to the first word in the title, I expected this book to primarily consist of coffee recipes, but when I opened it on my Kindle, I was surprised to find pictures of juices, teas and smoothies. I did eventually find the coffee recipes, but they are less than one third of the book. Go figure. The alcoholic drinks were a bonus, including Greek Sex on the Beach, which sounds yummy, but I have not found that drink in a coffeehouse.
The coffee recipes are fairly common, and some are just strange. (In my book Splenda can never be an ingredient and neither can Diet Swiss Miss with Marshmallows. Yuck!) Many of them are traditional coffee cocktails that can be found in a bartenders guide, or on various foodie websites. Others are either foreign coffees where you add spice, or strange imitations of commercially available coffee confections from Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts. It's the commercial confections that are questionable. Who in their right mind puts cocoa in a Caramel Macchiato? Victoria Love...
The beginning of the book consists of recipes in random order for juice, tea and smoothies. None of these are rocket science, as an example, lemonade is lemon juice, sugar and water. Duh! The book doesn't even tell you how much water. Three or four ingredients, dump in a glass, stir vigorously and voila! Drinks are served.
One of the benefits that's not obvious about the book is the classic cookie recipes you probably won't find anywhere else besides an old cookbook from the 1970's. There are many original recipes for cookies like chocolate crinkles, sugar cookies and snickerdoodles. If you don't have these recipes and like to bake, then you can get an entire collection here:
Chocolate chip
Peanut butter
Pumpkin w/ penuche frosting
Sugar
Snickerdoodles
Shortbread thumbprint
Eggnog
Cornflake
Chewy chocolate
Butterfinger
Andes mint
There are more, I'm just too lazy to go back and forth. That's quite an impressive list of recipes as it is. Who would've thought a coffeehouse book would end up being a great cookie recipe resource.
Now the downside. The editing is sub par for any kind of published work. The recipes were clearly copied from either recipe cards or their electronic equivalent, so the English is chopped, incomplete and erroneous. Missing words abound. Sentences with mismatched clauses confuse instructions. Sometimes, entire sentences are missing. There are also basic spelling mistakes. In many cases, it comes across as a poor translation from a foreign language. It doesn't even use a single measurement system; sprinkling recipes with grams and liters in amongst the cups and teaspoons.
The other issue is the formatting. The formatting was clearly done on a computer. In the Kindle version, at the BOTTOM of every page is the title of the recipe. Its picture is on the NEXT page with a great amount of dead white space following that. After all this comes the recipe, starting 2/3 of the way down the page. If you find a picture that looks good, to find out what it is, you have to turn back to the previous page and look at the very last line. If anyone had taken one second to look at this book on the Kindle, they would have gone back and formatted the book correctly before publication. It looks like a grade school homework assignment.
Bottom Line: If you have been hunting for original cookie recipes, you've found them. What you will not find is 91 original coffee recipes, no matter what the first word in the title is. It is a weird mix, but if you want the cookies, it's either this or the ancient Sunset Cookies book.

Missing ingredients and confusing wording
The title sounds wonderful. But upon reading the recipes and instructions, I noticed that a key ingredient or two is missing from time to time. Also, the instructions read strangely. It's a disappointment and annoying.

Not artisan coffee recipes
Very simple recipes using packages and powders. No artisan recipes that be similar to what you would get in a good coffee shop.
