Triad Coffee Shops

Coffee Shop Art

Coffee Cat loves to support local artists. Unfortunately, my wallet doesn’t get it. My wallet has this predisposition toward the mortgage, utilities, and other so-called “necessities.” But as you know, coffee is a necessity for this cat! So, I love to get my fix of coffee and art at locally owned coffee shops. The price is always right!

Thanks to Mr. Espresso, I have my very own piece of locally-produced coffee shop art. One evening at Café Roche, I admired a photo series that spells out “I Love Coffee.” Was I thrilled to find that wrapped up for me at Christmas! It was the starting piece for a coffee station in my kitchen. The portrait holds a place of honor over my coffee maker and coffee. We set up shelving to hold all the necessities for a home coffee station: grinder, European espresso spoons, mugs, sweeteners, extra filters, assorted coffee beans, and more. We even have a selection of teas for visitors like Mocha Mutt. Mocha Mutt even pitched in some coffee-themed towels, plates, and baskets. Geez, wasn’t that sweet!

On those rushed mornings when I just can’t make it to the coffee shop (uh, like, every weekday), I have my own mini-coffee bar in the kitchen. I’d love to hear about your home coffee bars, coffee fans!
