I'm bummed to see this is a "limited time" thing.  Ever since the supply chain issues began, it's been impossible to find the Coffee flavor of those little bottles of Starbucks you see at Publix.  They always have caramel, vanilla and mocha.  But you never see the coffee flavor anymore... EXCEPT if you want to buy the big bottles.  But even the little bottles are now starting to get up around $8 for one of those 4 packs.  But when I was at Sam's Club in Clearwater this week, I found a brand I'd never seen before... "Black Stage."  Same bottle shape and size.  The case comes with 12 bottles for about $14.  So way less money... but how do they TASTE? And what's with this limited time thing?  Anyone know where else you can buy them in Tampa? Seems like it's an exclusive Sams/Walmart thing.

Devouring the 813 and 727 one neighborhood at a time. #GenoAteTampa began as a hashtag so I could quickly point listeners to places I've recommended on my Tampa radio show and social media channels.  Now, "Geno Ate Tampa" has become the chronicles of my never-ending quest for great burgers, sweet and sour chicken, buffalo wings, fajitas, chicken parmesan, pizza, apple pastries, cheesesteak, grouper nuggets, french fries, lobster rolls and ice cream in the Tampa Bay area.  And that's just what I have for breakfast.
