I love coffee. Like a lot. I basically have one cup in the morning and one in the afternoon. Occasionally I’ll add one more to this routine if I’m traveling. I rarely have less.
And I like to enjoy my coffee at home or at a cafe.
Near my office there are a few places that serve great coffee. But they are always so busy and it’s hard to get a table. And even if you get a table, it’s a popular spot and I often bump into people I know. But sometimes or I usually just want to be alone, to enjoy your coffee in a quiet setting.
So I found a place. It’s about a 15 minute walk from my office. It’s not a complete secret but it’s off the beaten track. And they have the best pour over coffee in this city. And I’ve been there at least 20 times and have yet to bump into anyone I know — except the super kind baristas. I grab a seat by the window, I drink my coffee, check out some tweets, maybe scan my Instagram feed or Tumblr dashboard, then put the phone in my pocket and enjoy the rest of my coffee.
