Wifey and I went to a coffee shop this Sunday morning – you know you amble out, it’s a relaxed morning and you want to have a nice cup that you can appreciate.

Drove for about 15-20 min to get there and the place turns out to be about anything but the coffee. Nicely dressed gents, impeccably turned out ladies at 10am, hardly a place to walk in the cafe and a 45 min waiting to be seated.

On another day in the previous weekend we headed to a coffee shop where there was seating for only 8 people. Middle of hardly anywhere. The barista is jolly fellow who knows his coffee and not a guy who is churning out stuff by the minute. You have to wait for him to serve you magic in a cup.

Both are great places – it’s just the timing. On an afternoon with friends would have preferred the former but at any other time – I’ll take a cup of magic.
