Italian for Biscuit

The JAVA GOGO team is always looking for great foodstuffs to offer alongside the beverages. In fact, we do taste tests to determine what makes it on the menu. We have eaten far more than our fair share of muffins, doughnut, assorted pastries, scones, breakfast sandwiches and energy bars in the last year. The work is grueling.

At one of our tasting sessions last summer, biscotti was on the menu. I came to the table completely convinced that biscotti was a bottom-of-the-barrel foodstuff, reserved for desperate souls who enjoy eating hard pretzels and say things like, "Are you hungry? Eat an apple."

I can admit, I was wrong. So wrong in fact, that my 20oz latte has a new friend every morning - a pumpkin spice biscotto. Dang. Good biscotti is GOOD, and this locally-made biscuit is on the menu. But don't look for hard pretzels anytime soon.
