During my recent past relationship my boyfriend never topped my love for coffee.
***********
I think when I realized that, it was time for him to go. Coffee inspires me, energizes me, and get’s me through long study hours. I began drinking coffee when I was studying for my first college exams and working a full time job. You begin to realize you are no super human and an ounce of sleep is all you really want. It was exhausting and I don’t see that ending until I finish school.
One of my favorite pastimes is experiencing new coffee shops. I’m a Starbucks addict but it has nothing to do with the SB brand name. Truth is, they make a mean cup of coffee. One popular coffee chain in my area is Peet’s Coffee or even Dutch Bro’s Coffee. I’ve heard from various sources how wonderful the coffee is and I find that to be sadly untrue. After tasting I’ve discovered the coffee is weak.
Beyond trying out chain coffee shops, it’s fun going to the little ones. It’s slightly hit or miss as to the quality of coffee though. A little town I frequent features two coffee shops of note. One is an excellent place to study, thanks to free wifi and plenty of tables. The negative side is the taste of their coffee. It’s truly awful. The second coffee shop has wonderful coffee but no place to study. I wish they could switch places and keep their coffee skill methods.
One day I plan to open up my own coffee shop. I visualize a place that is in a university town and my focus will be creating an excellent study environment. I’ll keep the place open until 11 at night and the music won’t be excessively loud. Here’s to dreaming.

I heart this post and I heart little tiny unique coffee shops. ;)
ReplyDeleteSuch a cutie, I love how you dodged the explanation on the ex. Crafty. ;)
ReplyDelete@Laura, thanks for visiting my blog! There is something to be said for the little shops one chances upon. :)
ReplyDelete@Anonymous, hahahaha. :)
Umm, I hate to be the voice of revision, but Thursday is the first day of fall. ;)
ReplyDeleteGood post, btw. :)
Oooh, ouch. Bf wasn't better than coffee eh?
ReplyDelete:) Brave woman! I wish I could do this, but I'm a bit afraid of facing the people I see who would read my blog 'confessions'. ;)
THis is so great. I remember the first time my (then) boyfriend (now) husband played the "I love you more than..." game and I remember thinking, "Holy Cow. Do I REALLY love this boy more than _______?' Haha...eventually Yes. The answer was Yes. Glad you got that all straightened out. :) Love the confessions idea!!!!
ReplyDelete@Ben, haha! I'm sorry but I really think the first day of fall is Wednesday. You had me searching and searching though.... I'm like, oh my goodness... did I just write a world wide web post with inaccurate dates? ;)
ReplyDelete@Hannah, isn't that terrible? I'll follow your confessions if you write m'!!! I know what you mean though... it sure makes you think twice. :P
@Holly, that's so sweet!! I look forward to being able to say I love someone more than coffee. ;) Love to hear your confessions!! :D
Most men are just distractions. Glad you could hear the whisper "You like coffee more than this man Emy" :D
ReplyDeleteThis post made me LOL. I used to find the same thing was true of a good book. Would I rather read or spend time with the guy? Usually the book won.
ReplyDelete@Twenty Seven- hahha, that they are. :)
ReplyDelete@Stuttgartgirl- oh that's a good one! It is really hard to beat a good book.... :)
Well Emy we need to make a deal. Either you stay clear of the state I start my coffee shops in or we go into partnership. :D I can just imagine the rivalry it could cause if we tried opening shops close to each other. Two amazing places with great coffee.
ReplyDeletemmmm, you have an amazingly good point there. It would almost be like the movie "Bridewars."
ReplyDelete:P I could see us sabotaging each other every which way. haha. :) I think we should shake hands on the partnership idea or a "you can not do business w/in 20 miles" :D
I love coffee and coffee shops too, and I like how there are so many variations to choose from, depending on your taste and mood!
ReplyDeleteIt definitely does something amazing to brighten one's day, that's for sure! :)
ReplyDeletehaha, i love this. you know, now that i think about it, i don't really think i've ever really loved a man more than i've loved coffee. hehe.
ReplyDeleteand dutch bros can be kinda gross sometimes. but peets coffee? i don't go there a ton, but i always manage to get a good latte when i do go there.
So glad I'm not the only one who doesn't like Dutch Bros! I haven't actually tried Peet's lattes. Maybe next time I'll give them another try. :)
