Traveling with Coffee

 Traveling with Coffee


So with the end of my first story about Melanie, I have started traveling through this great state called Georgia. I have been all over it, but this summer I am traveling by coffee. Let me explain. Due to a work injury I cannot do my normal work, so I am in an office for the time being, which means I have off every weekend. I thought what a great way to travel, I will go visit coffee houses in Georgia. I like coffee, but I love the third space. A space where people come together as a community and feel safe. People talk to people at other tables, they talk to people who they normally would consider outside their comfort zone. This Saturday 6-9-18 I started my summer of coffee travel with a trip to a coffee house I had been to before and am in love with: Senoia Coffee & Cafe. It is situated in Senoia Georgia and is a charming coffee place, but it also has a banging good menu. Everything is made to order so you relax, talk to people, and gently wait for your food. Yesterday was the first time I had been there on a Saturday and if was hopping! The staff was swamped, the place was packed, the noise level was up, but you know what? The staff was wonderful, the seating was ample, and the noise was people actually talking to one another and not on their phones! This charming coffee house/cafe is amazing. They have achieved a great balance of professionalism and relaxation.



I ordered what I always do, the Caesar chicken wrap and let me tell you it never disappoints. They have amazing teas for relaxation, clear mind, and other maladies you may suffer from. Their staff is intelligent about their food and drinks and can talk to you for a minute and make a recommendation you will LOVE! They have a case full of sweets too! My honey does not like cheesecake, but they had banana pudding cheesecake and he fell in love. It was moist and a great balance of the two foods. We bought their pastry basket for $8 and brought back 4 more goodies. The price cannot be beat! Their pastries are fresh and moist and melt into your mouth. They have muffins, croissants, cinnamon rolls to die for good, and many other sweets. It seems their magic is not just amongst the lunch food, but also their sweets as well. They are master magicians in the kitchen.

If you catch yourself passing through Senoia Georgia I highly recommend this lovely place. They bathroom is clean, you can pick up papers about activities in the area, they have T-shirts for sale. Their coffee is to die for good and their food is of pure magic.

Here is some information on the owners if you are interested in chatting them up!

Sunday Stories, Crazy Love Coffee Shop

So Crazy Love Coffee in Roswell Georgia has been on my list for years to visit. This weekend I got to go. I bought my son and myself an iced coffee and giant blueberry muffins. This coffee was smooth. The service fast and friendly.  There was a considerable line; I was not in a line long. The staff hustled to get everyone's orders done. They asked what you wanted and listened. They recommended products based on what their customers were describing. They had books for sale, cards, bags, toys, all sorts of note cards, and cute stationary. This place did not disappoint.  I must have been the 20th person in this long line, but 15 min later, coffee in hand, I was on my way out the door to give my kiddo his coffee. I had an iced coffee and the flavor of the coffee was smooth and sweet and tingled the tastebuds. The atmosphere was relaxed. The light was on point in this big area. See those bags in the photo, I had to fight the urge to get one.  Crazy Love coffee is family oriented, perfec

Sunday Stories: Time Spent Well.

Us At Cathedral Coffee This is the coffee shop   Yesterday was a day well spent. We drove thirty miles to a local church, with a coffee house in it. The coffee tasted so smooth and wonderful dancing on my tongue. I was told about the breakfast biscuits that were almost sold out. We, my husband and I each ordered one. We got the last two biscuits, and they did not disappoint and were only $4 each, so for  $12, we got a great breakfast and coffee. We spent an hour sitting, sipping, eating and chatting. It was a great slow start to what was quickly going to become a busy day. Thank you  Cathedral Coffee  for fueling our day.  Secondly, we hit a local convention. Spend $7 to get in and $7 on things we bought. It was full of artists we love, with jewelry and hand-drawn art. We spent maybe an hour at this convention, which was local, and we walked through it a few times. Since we are not going to Dragoncon this year, this little convention was perfect. Another hour was well spent.  After thi

Third Place on a Sunday

  If you have been following me for a while, you know I am in love with the third-place concept. Don't know what it is? Let me fill you in. You need a home place, a workplace, and a third place within the community where you can go and chat, read, have a beverage, and feel safe. For me that is always a coffee house. A few years ago I went around to some of Georgia's coffee houses and I wrote about them. Always seems to happen in the Summer. Seems the perfect time to travel and see the coffee houses of Georgia.  This summer we start with Labrador Coffee House in Kennesaw Ga. This cute house is turned into a two-story coffee house. The smell of intoxicating coffee welcomes you inside, but have a poochie? No problem, there are bowls of water all over the porch for puppy doggies. They are welcome on the porch, but not in the cafe. Gotta keep that fur out of our food you know. :)  The Labrador is dog friendly. The doggies are welcome everywhere else. The tiny fire hydrant to sniff a
