LOST IN THE DESSERT: THE BEST PIE IN DENTON

I've long heard rumors in whispers around town that the best pie in Denton can be found at Loco Café. Not only did my long overdue reconnaissance mission need to be performed between the hours of 7:00am and 3:00pm, but the pie doesn’t even show up until Friday. You may see this elusive beast Saturday, Sunday, or even Monday morning for the luckiest, but those who appreciate freshness, predictability, and just-from-the-oven warmth can and should make their standing pie dates around 10am on Friday.

THE ALWAYS UPDATED GUIDE TO THE DENTON COFFEE SCENE

The coffee game in Denton has drastically changed in the past two years. Seven Mile Coffee started the shift to third-wave coffee almost three years ago (if we're ignoring The Hydrant), but since then, the local coffee scene has expanded in size almost exponentially with Shift, West Oak Coffee Bar, Big Mike's, Cultivar, The Whitehouse, and even a few more opening shop in town. Having so many options can be a little stressful - especially if you're the type who doesn't just pick and spot and stick with it. All of the new shops have their own specific strengths. Below, we've got a bit of a Choose Your Own Adventure tour of the Denton coffee scene in the spring of 2015, let's get to it. Also, anybody remember Cappuccino Cafe?

WHAT WE DID: AUGUST 11th

Alright, here's the "real" What We Did for today. We've complimented y'all's photography skillz before, but now we're impressed by your photojournalism ability. You've captured the easy-going youth spirit that encapsulates much of Denton life so perfectly. Lounging on a trampoline with a cigarette while a dog looks away in shame is such a perfect moment of Denton life (you should probably stop smoking, though, lady). That, plus all of the other wonderful moments and hidden corners make this our favorite column to put together. And we're limited here, folks. While we love the photos we've selected to highlight, y'all should definitely take the time to search #WDDI on Instagram. You'll find so many great photos that we jsut didnt' have the space to showcase. 

Scroll down for some photo greatness from this week. Click the photos, themselves, to be led back to the photographer's Instagram account.  Tag your perfect Denton moments with #WDDI throughout the next seven days and then come back here next Monday to see another collection.

Oh yeah, while this isn't "butter stacking" by any means, two members of WDDI married one another this past Saturday at the courthouse. Shaina Sheaff was on hand to take some photos and we hung out at Hannah's afterward to celebrate. If you saw fancy-dressed folks walking around in the heat Saturday morning, that was us, but it was worth it.
