Keep Your Mushrooms Out of My Coffee | Eater SF

"Sipping a Brainwash mushroom latte at Equator Coffee’s cafe in Sausalito after a bike ride across the Golden Gate Bridge had me thinking just one thing: I was, indeed, brainwashed. I spent $6, plus 50 cents for oat milk, on coffee with “adaptogen powder crafted into a syrup” (Wunderground) laced into my drink; it wasn’t Equator’s fault — the Bay Area roaster is well deserving of all its many accolades — and the drink itself was a creamy and pleasant latte that incorporated Wunderground’s trendy supplement, but the experience left me reflecting on how I’d been equating black coffee with bad health and trying other beverages or boosts out of misplaced guilt." - Paolo Bicchieri
