I am in love with coffee houses and I prefer a bit of a tattered bohemian feel to my shops as opposed to the sleek modern chain monsters. I like my coffee shops like I do my art, a little dirty and twisted.
Yep. Yes indeed. My favourite ever coffee shop was called The Boiler Room. Found it in Port Townsend, Washington (or somewhere thereabouts) when I was 14 and could drink pots of coffee. It was grunge, dripping with artists, dirty in the best possible way.
Sadly, my love affair with coffee is one of moderation. I can't drink it like I used to, but I appreciate the smell, even when I have to deprive myself of the taste.
Aren't those just the best coffee shops!?!
