CoffeeCat is very sorry to see Cafe Roche in Winston-Salem closing. I'll miss the cool neighborhood hangout with bow-wows on the patio, and Mr. Espresso is mourning the loss of the Espresso World Tour. Caffe con Leche, R.I.P. I see a coffee road trip in our future - to Sara Hummell's future coffee shop in the Fuquay-Varina area.Winston-Salem Journal story.
CoffeeCat is still reeling from the loss of Brew Nerds, but cheering all the local coffee shops that are thriving. Support your locally owned coffee shops, folks!

Coffee @ work
Coffee Cat loves nothing more
than a weekend morning or afternoon at a Triad Coffee Shop. But I also love
coffee shop fixes any day of the week, any time of day. Many workers are soooo
lucky to have a coffee shop at work! We work hard, so we should indulge in the
luxury of a little coffee shop boost any time of the day.
Lucky Greensboro workers also have a choice of fixes during the workday. The Green Bean, Dolce Aroma, and the Sweet Shop don’t even require folks to step out into the cold and wind. Or the heat and humidity. Even law students and professors have it good with the opening of Legal Grounds inside the Elon Law School.
Maybe there are more – if you know of a “coffee shop at work,” let Coffee Cat know. Especially if it has a sunny window perch, comfy sofa, or large potted plant suitable for cat naps. Who am I kidding? Any place is a great place for a cat nap, but only locally owned coffee shops are the place to be for the best coffee in the Triad!
For example, coffee drinkers at
the big banks in downtown Winston-Salem don’t have far to go to get a java fix
and a break to clear their heads. Kouboura Coffee and the Legendary Goat are in
downtown office towers and just a few steps away from some major employers.
Those who have it best are the ones who don’t even have to walk outside to get
their coffee shop fix. Chelsee’s serves those who work in the Arts District,
and Krankie’s is worth the jog down Third or Fourth street.
Staff at Wake Forest Baptist
Medical Center owe a bit of their success to Java by Jeff’s, a bright, happy
oasis for everyone. Where else can you get your locally-owned coffee shop fix next
to world-famous scientists and baristas? Lucky Greensboro workers also have a choice of fixes during the workday. The Green Bean, Dolce Aroma, and the Sweet Shop don’t even require folks to step out into the cold and wind. Or the heat and humidity.
