A guide to coffee shops by a coffee shop lover
Me: “I think I’ll get the nitro to start because it’s so hot.” Attractive Server: “Hot? Really?? I thought it was very cool today.” The adorable server had hipster glasses, a slight, ruddy beard growing over his boyish face, and a crisp white shirt tucked […]
Trekking a quick 10-minutes from our hotel downtown, a newly-formed friend and I walked past colorful murals, homeless men, and fallen tree branches, enduring the humidity to grab breakfast at this pristine spot. On an obscure corner, the shop is hardly noticeable, but worth the […]
