Can Anyone Relate to This Photo?
I have a coffee every day? Do you? I have a coffee card for Tim Hortons, Second Cup and Starbucks and I use them regularly. I love independent coffee shops too. Some of my favortites include: Manic, Sam James, Ezras Pound, Jimmys and Dark Horse Espresso Bar.
Coffee is my chance:
-sit down for a minute and read a book or a newspaper
-to meet a friend and catch up
Unlike the photo to the left…I just have a normal black coffee!! No special lattes.
I seriously think about what it would be like NOT to have a coffee every day. Not sure I could do it. Could you? Lately I have been grating ginger into boiling water and I am completely enjoying it. However I still have this NEED to have a coffee.
I’m known sometimes as the “friend who delivers coffee” as I often drop off coffee to friends who cant get out of the house cause they are sick, or their kids are sick, or they are in mourning over a loss, or just had a baby etc. It’s a small act of kindness but I love knowing this small gesture makes a difference in their day.
So as I write this..I’m wondering when Tim Hortons is starting their Roll up and Win campaign. I’m already looking forward to it. Wonder if this year, I might win a bit more often. Wishful thinking. I know.
If you ever want to do a “coffee crawl”…here’s the information for those independent coffee shops listed above:
Manic Coffee…426 College
Sam James Coffee Bar...297 Harbord St.
Dark Horse Espresso…215 Spadina or 682 Queen East (thanks @climbguy)
Ezras Pound…238 Dupont St. or 913 Dundas St. West
Jimmy’s Coffee…107 Portland St.
Aroma...500 Bloor West, Promenade Shopping Centre, Yonge/Eglinton and more…
Tell me about your coffee habits. Are you loyal to one chain? do you have a coffee a day? do you only make coffee at home? do you ever go to independent coffee stores?
