Here October 31 is like any other Saturday. As for me, I can happily say that I found my coffee spot. As you’ve probably already guessed, coffee is a big deal for me. It’s that indulgence that invites you to have an experience as you sit down, sink back in your chair, and sip.
Have a coffee break with me. Enjoy everything from the latte art, the different size mugs, the variety of ways it is prepared and drank, to the way it is presented… there is a certain elegance and peace of mind that comes with, sitting down for a cup of coffee.
It feels good to discover a spot that serves as, somewhat of a safe haven, when you need a pick me up, something to do on a Sunday night, someone to say hello to, a treat, or just somewhere to go and think about nothing. Establishing that spot is crucial when moving to a new place, where nothing feels like home; it is up to you to recreate a ¨home¨. This theme has been in apparent in so many movies and series, like Elle Woods making friends with her manicurist in Legally Blonde or Lorelei Gilmore when she moves to Sleepy Hollow and going to Luke’s Diner everyday. The reason being, that, the theme is entirely relatable. The idea of taking chances, being on your own, and depending on other people. We, as human beings, long for that human interaction, that human bond. Secondly, for some kind of consistency, because with a big change there isn’t much of that. Instinctively and maybe without realizing it, you create connections, acquaintances, friendships and a new home within your new place. The owners already know me by name and greet me with a friendly smile every time I come in. ¨I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship¨ - Casablanca, 1942. And I’m not just talking about the coffee ;)
The coffee pictured above is a dirty chai. A dirty chai is a shot of espresso, chai, and milk. It’s delicious.
