The number one thing I love about my neighborhood cafe, Murano, is that the cappuccinos come with a pretty foam heart.

At some Starbucks and other coffeehouses across the country, there are worse things brewing than bitter coffee — namely, nasty disputes over customized coffee drinks.
A recent article in the Minneapolis Star Tribune points out that customized drinks at Starbucks often cost less than specialty drinks. The customer profiled realized that after years of paying $3.90 plus tax for her skinny Cinnamon Dolce latte, she could make the same drink — for $0.40 less — by requesting a nonfat latte with a shot of cinnamon syrup.
