fresh made latte

[Martin]

can I get my latte fix on the Empire Builder or Capitol Limited?

The only option for a latte-like product would be the bottled Starbucks Frappuccinos. Those are sold in the cafe car for $2.75.

You could get some while in Chicago. There's a Caribou attached to Union Station facing the river. You may also be able to get something if you're close to somewhere with that sort of drink in Denver and the train isn't late, but I wouldn't count on it.

Not sure he would have enough time to run all the way to Denver during an Empire Builder stop!

Ha, ha, just what I was thinking (though I HAVE gotten a latte while in Denver! Just zoom in real close on the google map of the station area, you'll find the place). Hmm, Empire Builder... I love my lattes, but I did not find anywhere to get one on that run.

The Empire Builder goes more than 700 miles away from Denver! You'd have to be a VERY fast runner to do that during even a 30 minute stop!

Wow, I'm out of it today. Yeah, there's nowhere on the Empire Builder to get a latte, unless you can convince someone to deliver it to the train.

Now if St. Paul ever gets into Union Depot there...

Whitefish, MT is a longer service stop (20 minutes or so). There's a coffee shop two blocks south of the station (4 minute walk according to Google), so you MIGHT have time to get there & back.

I've heard of someone who once got off the westbound EB at Minot, headed for Starbucks (about 6 blocks south), got a grande cappuccino, and made it back to the train with two minutes to spare. The scheduled dwell at MOT is usually more than enough, but that morning the train was running about 10 minutes late, so the timing was a tad tight. The line at Starbucks made it even a little tighter. What's life without a little excitement?

I, er, I mean, that person ran the last two blocks back the train (carefully carrying the drink) hoping not to hear two blasts from the horn.

That's too much excitment for me!

Thanks all, I see that I will be suffering withdrawls next week!
