I take it they specialize in cheesecake as well as coffee?

I&amp;#39;ll volunteer to check out one of these locations and report back on whether they comply with the Truth In Advertising Act.  Really, it&amp;#39;s the least I can do.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Coffee/Nationals/Federal Way</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/274791?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 15 May 2007 06:09:56 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:c3107362-63ca-4ed3-aafb-23e7c3ab66dd</guid><dc:creator>Former Member</dc:creator><description>Really boys....won&amp;#39;t there be enough scantily clad women at the aquatic center?

Are there really ever enough scantily clad women?  Too bad the ratio of women to men isn&amp;#39;t more like 3:1&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Coffee/Nationals/Federal Way</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/274716?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 15 May 2007 05:09:04 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:824f3ba0-1229-4d49-bf3d-2758f5439d4f</guid><dc:creator>Former Member</dc:creator><description>Really boys....won&amp;#39;t there be enough scantily clad women at the aquatic center?&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Coffee/Nationals/Federal Way</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/274551?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 14 May 2007 15:47:46 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:9ee6b638-0fe6-4671-aa93-f34e06edd8d6</guid><dc:creator>Former Member</dc:creator><description>I sympathize, Ian.  Grace &amp;amp; I normally travel with our own portable espresso machine.  Unfortunately, we&amp;#39;re not driving to Seattle and will probably have to settle for American-style coffee.  We are bringing our own mix and coffee filters for the hotel coffee maker but it&amp;#39;s a poor second.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Coffee/Nationals/Federal Way</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/274596?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 14 May 2007 12:27:34 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:ac850680-8a1d-4b09-bcbc-20988760169a</guid><dc:creator>knelson</dc:creator><description>The area is crawling with coffee shops.  Obviously Starbucks is ubiquitous.  The next biggest player is probably Tully&amp;#39;s.  After that there are lots of local shops and also drive-through stands all over the place.  Most grocery stores will also have a small coffee shop inside.  I&amp;#39;m pretty confident you&amp;#39;ll be able to find a good cup of joe somewhere!&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Coffee/Nationals/Federal Way</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/274641?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 14 May 2007 12:24:01 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:a778e96a-cce6-4f93-917c-a8ccbc6bea6f</guid><dc:creator>Former Member</dc:creator><description>No, Rob, I haven&amp;#39;t, but I looked at their website and I agree about the steamy part!

Shouldn&amp;#39;t this really be a part of the Amanda Beard thread?  I imagine that these poor, working girls were once a part of a very successful local age-group program at Federal Way.  As their fame grew, and they matured, their horizons apparently broadened.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Coffee/Nationals/Federal Way</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/274628?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 14 May 2007 08:14:50 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:9b066b8c-a7e5-42e8-a03e-aecf2088cff1</guid><dc:creator>Jeff Commings</dc:creator><description>There are bound to be a lot of jittery swimmers at Federal Way.

I don&amp;#39;t drink coffee, so I&amp;#39;ll be one of the few able to stay in position without getting &amp;quot;the twitches.&amp;quot;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Coffee/Nationals/Federal Way</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/274617?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 14 May 2007 03:10:20 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:da6df43b-15b3-4e34-8918-c064db7c7313</guid><dc:creator>knelson</dc:creator><description>No, Rob, I haven&amp;#39;t, but I looked at their website and I agree about the steamy part!
