Traveling with Coffee II

-
This past weekend was a whirlwind of sweets, coffee, and a short family visit. I traveled to Roswell Georgia where I go to visit the very hip young coffee house that has their heads on right. Their motto is Drink Coffee, Do Good! And they stand by it. They support the coffee farmers and villages they get their coffee from. They support the schools, the children, the entire village and they do good! They are the Land of Thousand Hills . Go check this place out!







This coffee house is literally a house. Their rooms are filled with tables and baskets and the combination of the wood, the light, and the smells allow all who enter to feel at home. I got an iced coffee because hello Georgia is hot and I added some half and half and no sugar needed. It was sweet and cold and the coffee was rich and so perfect. A cup hit the spot topped off with a lemon blueberry scone.


I walked around the little house saying hello to other people and everyone was so friendly. The crowd is a young group, but they made me feel at home. I took my coffee outside and sat under the shade of a tree and placed my feet up and my coffee on the table. The bugs were few, the company was pleasant. A young college couple was discussing life and adulting and I tried hard not to chuckle. Oh if they only knew what life was going to be like.



After the coffee house I made a quick stop to say hello to my son and his lovely girlfriend. Then headed to a place called My Parents Basement. This cute place is comic books meets pinballs meets the bar and scrumptious food. We played some pinball, we did some shopping, we got some ciders, and we had some amazing food. I got the chicken Cesar salad wrap. I am hooked on them. And I also go a side of tator tots because, well, why not? My Parents Basement   has some amazing people taking care of you, fans on outside, generations under one roof each enjoying and discovering new and old things together. It is in Avondale Estates and if you can swing by and have a huge side of tater tots.


 Tacos, tots, mac & cheese and my sandwich. No pictured , ciders in our bellies!! hahaha
Outside seating in the shade. It was on the street, but so quiet. They fans were going and tons of people were enjoying this gorgeous Ga day.












My honey enjoying some old skool pinball!. They had tons of machines and it brought back some memories for sure.

I hope you are enjoying my Traveling with coffee. This weekend Athens Ga and 1000 Faces Coffee
It looks like a good one and perhaps a little walking before I have knee surgery and cannot do it at all for a few weeks.

May your coffee be strong and your enjoyment of third places be enjoyable!
Until next time,
your story teller, poet,
Debbie :D

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
