Workhorse co-owner Ty gives Old Poppy a New Year's Squeeze -- after she makes a 16-ounce iced Latte in her St. Paul store.

Ty and her Workhorse Coffee company have been subjects of the Poppy Blog a couple of times.  The six-month old shop is located at Raymond + University in St. Paul.  The iced lattes are shaken, not stirred, and mighty tasty.

Atmosphere is fun and friendly. And, every once in a while, I'm able to talk management into letting me behind the counter for a hug.

I might add that Workhorse operates the World's Smallest Museum out front of the store. Funded by the McKnight Foundation, the "shows" are always worth checking out.

Here's a place worth your consideration and patronage.
