Coffee Talk

Sundays, for me, are filled with tradition. Maybe it's my Southern roots talking but I find comfort in the laziness of a summer Sunday.

One such tradition is coffee talk with my dad. Here are my faves for when the man himself comes to town.

Hava Java offers their dependably delicious coffee and made-to-order teas in a small, but cozy environment to a diverse crowd. Whether you're studying for finals, catching up with friends, or simply blogging on it's merits.... this is the place to be.

Lola Coffee Bar a minimalist approach to your average coffee joint. Decidedly euro, but above all else- satisfying. These brewmasters take their caffeine seriously, so be prepared for greatness. Make sure to sample something yummy from the pastry case. Lola's has an in-house bakery that bakes up treats to tempt your inner fat kid.

Luci's Healthy Marketplace As a child, I spent many an afternoon grinding my own peanut butter with dreadlocked hippies at a local natural foods co-op where my mother worked. Luci's embodies that same feeling of comfort and convenience. The full-service food and drink bar sits adjacent to aisles of health food, with tables for working and mingling at the forefront.
