The bar comes from a group of Mr. Smith’s alums and one regular.

First the cookie shot, and now the coffee cone. After the success of Dominique Ansel’s beloved cookie and milk creation, it’s really no surprise that an edible coffee cup is finally here.

Prepare yourself for the “Alfred Cone” — a “freshly dipped chocolate cone” for your espresso or macchiato that’s sure to switch up your morning routine.

Feast your eyes on the frothy goodness and start planning your move to LA:

Famous for its “But first, coffee” slogan and ever-changing coffee sleeves, Alfred Coffee & Kitchen might just be the coolest coffee shop in LA. A celebrity hotspot, the little shop on Melrose Place is getting a lot of attention for its newest tiny treat.

You won’t find this item on the regular menu (it’s a secret menu item only), but it’s sure to be a customer favorite since the cone made its arrival a few weeks ago. It’ll set you back an extra five dollars to get your Stumptown Coffee poured into this beauty, but it’s most definitely worth it.

The cone is served with wax paper holders, just to make sure that no coffee drinker gets the ooey- gooey chocolate on their hands when the cone starts to melt. On second thought, we don’t think we’d mind that one bit!

WATERVILLE, Maine (AP) — It was supposed to be a lesson in growing your own food, healthy eating and helping the less fortunate. Instead, a group of Maine fifth-graders got a lesson in the harsh realities of life.

When students at the Albert S. Hall School in Waterville went out last week to harvest the yellow onions planted last spring, they found that all 100 had been stolen. Their plan was to give half the onions to a homeless shelter and half to the school kitchen to be used in school lunches.

Student Ashley Harwood called the theft “kind of depressing.” Student Hannah Hall says the class was sad.

Teacher Mary Dunn says she plans to turn the theft into a lesson anyway, about coming together when things don’t go as planned.
