Coffee Shops

Hi friends,

if you can't by the title of this blog. I freaking love all things coffee. The amount of happiness I get when I have the perfect cup of coffee in the morning is honestly sad, but you know it makes me happy and that is really all that matters. Because of my love of this glorious drink I have grown to have a love of coffee shops. 

And by coffee shops I do not at all mean starbucks. I am not one of those coffee lovers that just scoffs at the mention of the obnoxiously popular chain, sometimes I do really enjoy a cup of jo from there however I don't really get my happy vibe in there. The coffee shops I am talking about are the random hole in the wall places that you really can only find out about from a friend of a friend. Those are the places that I am truly in heaven. 

There is just something about these places that allows me to forget every negative thing in my life and just be peaceful for a little bit. I like that you can be in a very social enviroment but at the same time you are completely alone and for some strange reason that is an incredibly comforting feeling. In this environment my creative juices (really cheesy term so sorry) just keep flowing and all I want to do is read and write and talk about life and death and everything in between. Whether I am with friends or by myself I can always find comfort in a coffee shop. 

100% of my favorite things that I have done the past few years is explore my city some more and find some new coffee shops. Some of my favorites would have to be Mudsmith ( lower greenville ), Espumosa ( Bishop Arts), Opening Bell Coffee ( South Side ), Union ( hidden gem on greenville). If you know me at all or follow me on any social media you would know I am also a huge fan of white rock coffee but sometimes I think it becomes too much like starbucks ( but no coffee will ever compare to theirs, it is truly the best). 

Coffee shops are my happy place. I hope you have a happy place and if not I encourage you to find one, make it your go to place when you need some inspiration. Finding your happy place will be a game changer I promise!

Until Next Time,
