Coffee


On a regular basis I like to catch up with friends that I use to work with. Usually we go to different coffee shops but the last few times we have met up at the Columbus Coffee Cafe at the local Mitre 10 store. For those of you who aren't familiar with Mitre 10, it's a franchise of hardware stores throughout the country that usually have a cafe attached.



My favourite coffee is usually a large mocha with one sugar, sometimes the staff will put a chocolate fish on the side (a kiwi icon) or a marshmallow.


As I was looking around I spotted that the side of one of the counters appears to be full of coffee beans - that's a novel idea.

 Linking up with Blue Monday and Mosaic Monday.

Hardware and coffee, a great place for guys to hang out to chew the fat.

We had a couple of places like this, not sure where it was.
Back in the past for sure. A lot of stores earlier had a restaurant
or cafeteria, but gone it that now. Except for our stop on the
highway, Buc-ee's. They sell clothing, sporting goods, most
everthing with gas pumps outside, and FOOD.
I'm doing Blue Monday this week also,
