Alcove Coffee Shop

-
So I have been traveling around Georgia drinking my way in coffee. My honey and I went to Alcove Coffee in Lilburn Georgia. We enjoyed a shared pot of Moroccan mint tea. They make the tea up in pots and we had blueberry muffins as well. This place is situated right on a lake and the views are amazing. If you are lucky you see a turtle sunning himself. If you want anything iced they can do it, if you want lovely light, they have it, this place is so peaceful and truly a gem in Georgia.






It is so serene looking out the large windows watching the lake.The view from this coffee house can not be beat!












The decor is eclectic and it mixes so well. There are seats, stools, chairs, tables, benches, you name it they have it. It lends a homey feel to it and


The entrance is along the trees and has a view of the lake from all around it. The peacefulness of this place is amazing as it is right off a busy road, but all the trees help keep the noise away.











I have been here before and their coffee is amazing, but sharing tea with my honey, I couldn't pass that up. It is a pot with two large cups of tea. Its a bit more intimate pouring tea for yourself and your friend or loved one. Alcove is always busy. They people who work there are always friendly, and honestly the view, the quiet, everything thrown into the mix combines to make this place a magical place to be. I am always a little sad when we have to leave and say goodbyes to the ladies behind the counter. Alcove Link

I hope if you are in Lilburn/Stone Mountain area you stop by this coffee shop. They have what every third place should have, a community feel where you are safe and welcome.

Until next time keep drinking that coffee

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
