St. Thomas Roasters

And so the Coffeehouse Tour begins! My first stop had to be something with emotional connection. This is the coffeehouse that my dad and I always stop at after a hike in the woods up on Second Mountain. I also wanted to start out this blog on a really positive note. This place has been here for a very long time and with good reason. They really know how to make a cup of coffee. They also know how to take care of their customers. Something that really stuck out to me was a minor detail that usually gets overlooked. They had non-dairy creamer on the shelf. Most coffeehouses don't do this; they either offer normal milk or soymilk if you're lucky. One of the owners of this place is a man named Geof Smith. He's a really nice person...he actually posed by the coffee bean processor for me. Yep, you heard right...they have a big silver coffee grinder. I thought that all of the big bags of beans in the lounge were just for show, but they're not! I took two photos of the coffeehouse...one of the exterior with the patio and one of the famous coffee grinder.



The next time I come here (and since it's so close there will be a next time very soon) I'm going to take in some of the music that happens here on Friday nights...at least I think it's mostly Fridays. It's mostly acoustic music from what I've seen, but it's mostly original artists, so that's definitely good. We have an overabundance of cover bands and such here in H-burg. Oh, and beware of the traffic. There's some construction going on near the place and the path to get there will be rather winding for a few months! Well, that was the coffee world's one freebee. The places I journey to from now on may or may not be of this caliber. We shall see...
