Coffee is Bae

It’s no secret that most of my life revolves around coffee and donuts. And why not? They are literally your perfect couple-friends that you can never live up to, but you have to be around to admire. I am the third wheel to coffee and donuts, and it is a beautiful place to be.

You’re such a cute couple. – Me to coffee and donuts

Now, I can’t eat donuts every day. So coffee is my main bae. Bae is probably the most beautiful phrase to come out of 2014. Literally meaning “before anyone else,” that is how I feel about coffee. First thing in the morning, first person I talk to, refusing to acknowledge anything until the first cup is done.

And as far as coffee goes, Caferros is one of my favorite roasters. These little beans are hand picked in Columbia and roasted in small batches right here in San Antonio. A big thank you to all the dudes at Caferros, you are solely responsible for getting me out of bed in the morning and making me a part of functioning society.

One of my favorite things about them is their selection of flavored coffees. Now if you are one of those people opposed to flavored coffees, I understand. I was a coffee purist, too. Caferros is different. All of their flavors are organic and natural, and they are the real deal. My favorites are Texas Pecan, Mint Chocolate (yes Mint Chocolate, you have to try), and their flavor of Summer 2018, Coconut Fudge.

Brew a cup for yourself, dude. Hug your coffee mug in the morning and take in the sweet aroma. Treat yo bae right.

The Drink of the Summer

If you haven’t figured it out by now, let me tell you. The Aperol Spritz is the drink of the summer, and you need to get next to a pool and sip on one right now if you haven’t already.

This Aperol Spritz is awesome! – A culturally informed dude

You dudes want to impress your summer date? Ditch the basic Jack and Coke and take on this simple recipe that is sure to impress. Here’s my recipe so you dudes can try it out!

1 oz. Schweppes Lemon Lime Sparkling Water
2 oz. Aperol
2 oz. prosecco sparkling wine
Optional: 2 oz. Gin if you are feeling on the boozy side.

Serve over ice and garnish with lemon and grapefruit.

Cheers, dudes! Let me know how that date goes.

Hey, dudes.

Welcome to Design Dudes. Just a couple of dudes putting the D in Design.

Sup, bro? – a regular dude

I started this blog for a few reasons:

To make home design accessible to your average dude
To classify drinking as an educational hobby
To share some good eats (after taking a photo first)
To discover my cities (San Antonio and New Orleans)
And, to show other dudes how to live what I’m calling D’lifestyle

Who am I?

My name is Drew
Interior design is my passion, social media is my job, blogging is my fun
My motto: Don’t let your apartment look like a dorm room dude, you are 25
My style: Mid-century modern all the way (think Don Draper)
I love to rearrange my apartment, go out for drinks and eats, give recommendations of what to do around town, and take pictures of all of it

Thanks for staying with me this long. Hope you dudes join me on the Design Dudes Lifestyle. Peace, out.
