I had seen these cups in various schools, carried by one staff member or another, and one day I stopped another teacher to ask about La Barista. There are apparently several locations of this drive through coffee stand in Casper. Highly recommended, I was told their coffee is great, and it costs less than some of the other places around town.
Paul and I visited the La Barista stand in the Hobby Lobby parking lot on Second Street on Saturday, March 13, 2021. There were two baristas working at the time we arrived, and they were very friendly, welcoming, helpful, and fast.
We pulled up to the window and he welcomed us with a smile and asked what we'd like. I mentioned it was our first visit, and he gestured to the menu board and mentioned that those were suggestions from popular combinations, then showed the list of flavors on the board underneath the window, mentioning the ones in blue were also available in sugarfree (which was my next question).
Paul knew what he wanted pretty quickly, but I was a bit mind boggled. The barista asked if he could help, and I told him I would like to try some fun combination, and it needed to be sugarfree. He suggested the Toffee Haze, which is an English Toffee, White Chocolate, and Hazelnut Latte, all of which are available in sugarfree.
The staff took the time to find out what I wanted and give recommendations based on that. They were friendly and welcoming, and the drinks were ready very quickly. And, oh! They were so good! No bitterness, no "left in the pot all day" old taste, just amazing and delicious.
And yes, they were much cheaper than all but one of the other coffee shops I've visited around town, and they still beat them by a little. I would definitely say this is one of my top two locations for coffee drinks in Casper.
I forgot to take any photos of our drinks, but they were delicious and generously poured!
