Lily & Sparrow Mercantile

Located in the, ever so, entertaining city of Covington, Georgia. Not only is Covington the home of many film productions, but it's the new home of Lily & Sparrow Mercantile. Before our journey began, we researched several locations in Georgia and this was one of the coffee shops that we wanted to stop at. We were quite impressed with their mission and how they included the community around them.

Their menu is limited, but what they have will give you the coffee fix you desire. Bea decided that an hot Honey and Lavender Latte was in order. When you took your first sip you were met with the sweetness from the honey with a lovely lavender taste to end it. The lavender was not overpowering, the barista made this drink perfectly. John decided that he was going to divulge in an iced Aero Cola Latte. This was something we were not used too and it peaked both of our interests. After taking the first sip John stated that "different and delicious." 

We must add that we've noticed that some of the drinks we order are better when consumed hot. Especially, those with honey. Heat and honey are a great combination. 

We were able to speak with the owner for a few moments and he shared how he includes the community with his business. They have several items for sale that local residents have put the sweat and tears into their work. They offer a few food items, and you have the opportunity to purchase some fresh produce as well. 


The owner does roast his own beans, on site. He shared with us that he had just put a Bourbon Barrel Aged batch that he had completed. If anyone knows John, knows that he fancies his bourbon. So that peaked his interest and wouldn't you know that we ended up leaving with a bag. It must be said that if you leave your bag of coffee in a hot car that it will nicely fragrance your vehicle. 


Since coming home we did try a pot of the bourbon barrel aged batch. We both had different reviews about it. Bea was not a fan, the taste was not very alluring. As for John he absolutely loved it. He said it was "spot on."

Coffee Corners Antiques and Coffee House

  Coffee Corners Antiques and Coffee House 14544 North Cheshire Burton, OH 44021 Coffee Corners Antiques and Coffee House On a cold, rainy Saturday morning what better way to warm up, but by taking a ride into the cool little town of Burton. We ended up here by a recommendation of a friend. This adventure was a little different, we were joined by friends.  Coffee Corners Antiques and Coffee House has been located in Burton for the last 27 years. Walking through the front door you wouldn't expect it to be as big as it is. It really had the feel of a Christmas Hallmark movie. They have seating in each little room, and we do have to mention that it's quite a cozy place. This location had a little bit of everything...coffee, wine, beer, candles, maple syrup, miscellaneous  items, etc. The employees had a good system of taking care of customers in an orderly fashion.  Since this was our first time visiting we wanted to order one of their signature drinks. Bea ordered a hot Burton La

Twisted Peacock

Twisted Peacock Coffee Shop 888 Youngstown Kingsville Rd. Vienna, OH 44473 Twisted Peacock Coffee Shop We stumbled upon the Twisted Peacock Coffee Shop while scrolling through Facebook. Upon viewing what they had to offer we knew that a trip to Vienna was in order.  Saturday morning we arose from our coffee craving slumber. Got ready, piled into the car and made our way to get some coffee. We traveled about 30-45 minutes to get there. My father used to joke with us that we would drive 100 miles, one way, to get a cup of coffee. If he could see us now. Grant it, we didn't drive 100 miles, but we did pack on a few miles by the time we made it home. When we got there we were not aware that they were having a "Coffee with a Cop" event. There were several police officers present from the Vienna Township Police Department . Making our way to the front counter we were met with such a nice employee. She knew it was our first time there and still took a moment to explain what item

Peninsula Coffee House and Market

  Peninsula Coffee House and Market 1653 Main Street Peninsula, OH 44264 Peninsula Coffee House and Market If you ever wanted to experience that Hallmark movie feel then you must put Peninsula, Ohio on your list of places to visit. The Cuyahoga River runs right through town. There are beautiful trails that you can walk along if being in nature is your happy place. One of the most interesting things that Peninsula has is the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad . During the Summer it's extremely busy with nature lovers.  Peninsula is also the place where John grew up. So returning home always brings him a galore of memories.  Through research we heard about a brand new coffee shop opening up in Peninsula. This was perfect as we were heading into Cleveland and wanted to stop somewhere. A little coffee shop located right next to the river is the newest delight to be brought to town. The place I'm talking about is the Peninsula Coffee House and Market. We had the opportunity to speak wi
