I love Saturdays. I love the sleeping in, lingering over breakfast that IS NOT a bowl of cereal, and the whole day stretched out before us like a blank canvas. Saturdays are also coffee house adventure days! Saturday morning greeted us with bright sunshine and a balmy 48 degrees for the high--manna from Heaven compared to the siberian wasteland we had been living in with the sub-zero temps and mounds of snow (I fought the urge to break out the flip-flops). Michael had a surprise coffee house adventure planned...but sometimes the best laid plans lead to better plans...especially in the case of a closed coffee shop (special shout-out to Donatellos in the Carmel Art District for claiming they would be open Saturday morning)!
Not to be denied our coffee adventure, my guy and I headed to our current favoritand previously blogged about location...Hubbard's & Cravens! H&C has become our favorite fall-back coffee house. The bonus this time is that is was debuting its newest java offering...Tanzania Peaberry! Michael, the more adventurous coffee drinker (or coffee stud as he refers to himself) savored a cup of the newest offering and really enjoyed its bold, rich flavor. I, however, stuck with what I like best..my sugar free hazelnut latte with some awesome micro- foam art!
However, the moral of this story isn't the coffee...it's the time we spent together connecting after a busy week. Yes, the coffee was really good, the barista was wonderful, but the opportunity to sit face to face with each other was priceless.
So, in pursuing a coffee adventure, we actually ended up pursuing each other. And the coffee tastes just a little bit better when shared with the one you love.
Next stop MIAMI BEACH! Flip flops, sunshine, hand holding and coffee adventures! Michael has already researched and chosen two eclectic coffee house locations, including a Cuban coffee house! Can't wait!
