i have an ongoing love affair with coffee shops. were getting pretty serious. id like to think its a little bit of west coast ive kept with me all these years living on the east coast. they practically bleed caffeine over there! AND apparently my finnish heritage...highest coffee consumption per capita (what?!).

ANYWAY. i love the coffee shop "vibe," the people watching, the foam art. the adorable hipster babies in their mini converse, the buddy holly eye glasses i wish i could pull off, the questionably homeless man sitting in the corner talking to himself, the sea of mac book computers. i love it all!! *also note allies diabolical grin and my death grip on my mug.
