good for the soul

Confession...it's good for the soul, right? So here goes...

I am horribly and terribly biased when it comes to coffeeshops. There I said it. Whew! Yes, I have my favorite and no other coffeeshop quite measures up. My favorite coffeeshop...drumroll please...is the Potter's House. I do, however, try to over look my bias when I am trying out a new coffeeshop. There are other coffeeshops that I enjoy, but none can really compare with the Potter's House.

The thing is there just really isn't another coffeeshop like PoHo (as it is affectionately called). It is in a category entirely by itself because it is a coffeeshop, but it is so much more. It is a home, a refuge, a hangout, a family, a community. It isn't there just for the business of selling coffee. It is there for the business of being a family.

It is a place of friendship and laughter, of comfort and tears, of joy and love and peace. And the coffee's not bad either...hahaha ;)

The Oreo Quicksand is a favorite, as is the strawberry-banana smoothie. The brownies will change your life...forever, although unless I am super craving chocolate I have to go with a cookie instead because the brownies are also super rich. A personal favorite is a honey latte...It's not on the menu, but it's excellent. The awesome thing is that you can ask for whatever you want. Too much sugar in something...ask for it without sugar. Want peanut butter in something...just ask.

After you get a drink, find a place to sit...there are lots of little nooks and crannies around. Or just chill out in the living room. Bring friends and play a board game. Whatever you want. :) Just enjoy the relaxing environment or the bustle (depending on what time it is).

Anyway...I had to get this post out of my system, so I will try to refrain from posting about PoHo again...and I will try to post about other coffeeshops soon.

Until then...keep your coffee strong.
