As the holidays draw ever closer, you often need a pick-me-up while doing that dreaded last-minute shopping. Roll through the CC’s drive-thru or take a small respite inside one of the multiple coffeehouses around town and enjoy one of the shop’s festive drinks.
The homage to candy cane season starts with the peppermint mocha, perfect for chocolate lovers who want a little variation. The eggnog latte is all of the indulgent flavors without the alcohol, so drinking and driving is not an issue.

The bananas foster latte, however, is an absolutely decadent drink that tastes like they simply blended up the rum-soaked bananas and poured them in a cup.
Tempting, isn’t it? Find CC’s at 130 N. College; 1315 Camellia Blvd., Suite 100; 2825 Ambassador Caffery Pkwy.; and 4600 Ambassador Caffery Pkwy.

An effort to restore a shuttered dancehall and document other vacant or razed honky-tonks could serve as a model for saving an endangered species of entertainment.
Lafayette’s gene pool has been host to a long line of eccentric characters who have blurred the lines between crazy, genius, disturbed and curiously entertaining.
