The definition of Connoisseur is expert judge, authority, aficionado, and/or arbiter of taste, which is an interesting word in itself.
I will go ahead and differentiate between an actual coffee shop and the " Big 2 "or i guess it could be 3...
The chain style coffee shop is manufactured. It's definitely not the coffee shop Vibe I've become accustomed to.
Littered with tumblers, coffee mugs and manufactured pastries that come off a truck.
Same Decor ( or lack of ), well I could go on . But you get the picture.
Experience is the key - Friendly, Cozy, Inviting, Workable, and of course Relaxing. And the social aspect can be rewarding as well. The ability to meet people can lead to friendships or at the minimum you can have an interesting and engaging conversation with someone that maybe there for the same reasons you are.
Good Coffee (Most Important) - Atmosphere (Most Important). Two Most Importants?!? Hmmm. If you have the Two in one place you have a Winner!
The Winner is The Coffee Shop!
Caramel Swirl - Amazing
What makes me comeback? Not just the ABILITY to consistently make a fantastic product but to make it your way! @caramelswirl or @Brenda'sstreetcar and @yeti (Cool Name!!) - Aside from the fantastic lattes definitely Josh and his wife Keema.
When you Walk In your welcomed immediately. Josh and Keema are well Friendly, Inviting, and Engaging. @thecoffeeshop.al is all you can ask for if you want to experience good vibes, great coffee, and a spacious friendly environment.
Such a Great place to grab a coffee, latte (Hint: Caramel Swirl) tea, or energizer drink (Another Hint: Bahama Breeze)! I've been to coffee shops all over the United States and @thecoffeeshop.al is one of the Best!
