I was sure it wasn&rsquo;t from <a href="https://www.sumpcoffee.com">Sump Coffee</a>. I wasn&rsquo;t sure if I could figure it out but I looked at the phot and found the location data. It was taken at <a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/Dsa9oCuHMPzZDzoHA">2103 Cherokee Street in Saint Louis</a>. Sump is actually just a few blocks away from that location. There is currently a coffee shop called <a href="http://www.themudhousestl.com">The Mud House</a> there, but that name doesn&rsquo;t ring any bells and who knows if that was there 10 years ago. We may never know what shop made this delicious combo.</p> https://www.thingelstad.com/2014/03/29/spring-break-trip.html Sat, 29 Mar 2014 13:07:04 -0500 http://jthingelstad.micro.blog/2014/03/29/spring-break-trip.html <p>Spring break trip started.
