Full Bloom

I was informed of a new place for coffee place not too far away in the town of New Era,  The Full Bloom Bakery and Flower Shop.   I drove down to give it a try.  The shop keeper made a delicious peppermint mocha and sold me a top notch scone as well.   They have a variety of baked goods and other delicacies  as well as flowers.  A variety of teas and coffees to choose from to make the drive there worth while.               4.6 ☕️   out of 5      4.9 🥐    out of 5 Located at 3093 M-20, New Era, MI 49446

The Cottage full of stuff

Image
I saw a blurb about this place on line and decided to take a look see.  They sell new and used items to make the your place look like the coolest cottage around.  But that isn't why I went there. Coffee was my objective.  Tucked away at a tiny booth was one of the most efficient baristas I have had the pleasure of watching work!  When I got into the line there were six (6) patrons ahead of me and he was making three (3) beverages at the time.  It took no time at all before I had my beverage in hand. I enjoyed walking around the store looking at all the stuff while sipping my brew.           4.8 ☕️ out of 5 no treats though😱 The Found Cottage can be found at 2460 Chicago Dr, Hudsonville, MI 49426

Going to the Court House isn't always bad

I stopped by the Court House coffee in downtown Danville, IN.  It is one of the nicest coffee houses I have ever been in.  The do serve breakfast and lunch and have a tea room upstairs as well.  The proprietors were quite pleasant and the service was excellent.  I had a vanilla latte and a homemade scone.

   If you are in Grand Rapids and want a good coffee beverage, skip the nasty commercial shops and explore the town a little.  On a back street but not too far off the main roads you will find a great grocery store called #kingmansmarket  A portion of the of the store is the #sparrowcoffee shop.      It is located at;  2225 Plainfield Ave NE, Grand Rapids, MI 49505-4227 Phone: 616 551 3913   I tried the vanilla latte and a mocha latte with my croissant.  They were both good but the Mocha was the best.  The croissant is from a local bakery and were quite good!     ☕️ 4.2     🥐  4.7

When friends don't answer

Image
 My usual stop for coffee is at my friend's house, but as he didn't  answer his phone I stopped by Tropies Cafe in Manistee.  It was close to closing  time, but the friendly staff obliged me with a Dealer's Choice which ended up being a tasty Carmel and vanilla latte! They are co_located with the owner's other business Millennial Decor.  It makes for a convenient way to have coffee while discussing a better way to express yourself in your homes decor.  I did not try any of their sandwiches or treats while there and shall have to return.  I recommend this as a very good stop if you are walking the boulevard in Manistee.  There are many interesting stores as you continues walking to the beach.                     4.5 - ☕️

Gig Harbor

 Greetings and Salutations from Gig Harbor, WA!  I tried a new to me shop this morning, the Kimbal Coffee House.  A small shop that serves up caffeinated beverages.  They were quite busy today with a host of drinks and meals.  The place was busy and hopping and very noisy!   The brown sugar cinnamon latte was a bit to hot and require a splash of cream to make it ready for consumption.  I took it outside to enjoy away from the interior din. They do host live music at various times of the week.  The latte was okay, but making a good beverage was not the number one priority from what I could taste.  I may go back to sample the breakfast out of curiosity.  They are found at  6659 Kimball Dr a102, Gig Harbor, WA 98335 3.9 - ☕️
