I mean, I know I'm capable of making my own coffee (and I sometimes do). And yes, I know it's kind of ridiculous how much they charge for beverages. But here's the reality: whatever I make at home is never going to compare to the wonders that the barista can create. Plus I just really love coffee shops. They almost all have great atmospheres and great energy. I tell myself that I get the most schoolwork done in them although that may be a lie I tell myself in order to justify my addiction.
Regardless, each coffee shop and barista has a small piece of my heart. I don't go to just one coffee shop because while I do love being a regular at places, I can't bear to commit myself to just one. First, there's my former office building's Starbucks. I miss seeing the baristas' faces and hearing about their lives but don't worry, we will meet again. Nothing compares to a grande Starbucks iced coffee with skim milk and classic syrup in the summertime. Then, there's the coffee shop just a few blocks away that has the coolest female barista who works the weekday morning shift. You are just so chill. Then there's the newish place I haven't been to in a while. But don't think that means that I don't have a crush on the barista there because I totally do. I'm not even really sure if he's straight but barista love knows no bounds. There's the coffee shop that I go to for the awesome atmosphere more than the drinks. And there's the place I frequented when I lived in my old apartment. I still stop by occasionally for my favorite pumpkin drink that they'll make me year-round. Finally, there's a local chain that makes the most delicious drinks and just might be my favorite in town.
They all have their perks, their drawbacks, their idiosyncrasies and I love them all. And there's still so many left to discover.
