Been hanging out in my favorite coffee houses lately. Dawson Taylor Downtown and Moxie on Vista. Life is good at both. With the ever oppressive Starbucks opening on every corner, it is so cool to see these local joints thriving.
The “new†Moxie has a swagger and verve the you can feel. The barristas are quick and quick whited(witted). The decor of the Vista Moxie is modern and warm. As I sit here the place is alive with a mix of students, businesspeople and a slacker or two.
DT-DT is the center of downtown commerce. Dawson’s twirls and spins all day. The friendliest staff by far and a “cuppa†coffee is still a buck. Try getting a coffee at Starbucks for a buck. No they want the stars, and maybe the moon as well.
Gotta go, back to my cup of Joe.
