Seeing students with various drinks in their hand is a common occurrence at Fossil Ridge High School. Whether it is from a food restaurant or a coffee chain, these drinks are definitely popular. We thought we would compare four of these different coffee places that students frequently visit near Fossil. 

At each of these places we asked the baristas what the most popular coffee drink order was and then we purchased that item. We have arranged them from cheapest to most expensive, excluding tips.

These opinions are not reflective of the general student body at Fossil, just our own. Feel free to vote in the poll which place you prefer the most. As a side note, the writers of this story have vastly different preferences with Addy Ehleiter preferring less coffee flavor with more sweetness and Monica Jarosz preferring a stronger coffee flavor and less sweetness.

Small Iced Golden Eagle $4.06The Golden Eagle is a caramel breve with espresso, vanilla syrup, and caramel sauce. Like other Dutch Bros. drinks, this comes in either the iced, hot, or blended option. As to be expected from a drink with caramel and vanilla, this drink was very sweet and sugary, with little to no typical coffee flavor. In our opinion, this drink is a happy medium for coffee lovers and sweet drink lovers.Monica’s rating: 6.5/10Addy’s rating: 8.3/10
