The Lucky Penny Cafe

Since we came home from our trip we decided that it was time for us to get back out there and indulge in some delicious coffee, especially since pumpkin spice season has come into full swing. If anyone knows Bea, know that she's a pumpkin spice girl. She takes her pumpkin spice very seriously. 

For the past few weeks we have been busy researching a few coffee shops and found a little place in LaGrange, Ohio called The Lucky Penny Cafe. On Saturday, we left a little after eight o'clock in the morning and arrived around half past nine. It was a little tricky with our directions, the navigational lady must have not had her coffee that morning either. We had to do a small loop to get ourselves turned back around. The coffee shop sits directly next to a day care. Once in the right direction we pulled into the spacious parking lot. 

The coffee shop doesn't have a lot of seating for those that want to have a large group. It would be the perfect spot for a morning date with a loved one or breakfast with family or a friend. Since this was our first time there we wanted to take it all in. There are cute little tables outside, weather permitting. 




The girl who took our order was knowledgeable, friendly, and very outgoing. It's hard to have employees that are proud of their job and will go out of their way to help customers. When we had questions she explained everything in detail. It made ordering easy.

It was requested that when we arrive to ask for Chris. The girl that was taking our order went and got her for us. Chris was helpful and even shared about their white espresso. She was quite gracious and you could see how she interacted with other customers. It was a welcoming site. 

WHITE ESPRESSO: A shot of espresso that is made with a unique roast of coffee beans, white coffee beans. 

Since it's pumpkin season a flight of pumpkin latte's was on the list of things to try. We ordered a double flight. On one side were several pumpkin samples and on the other side we asked the barista to pick four of their customer favorites. 

OH, MY PUMPKIN!

We then ordered a small cup of their signature coffee. The coffee came from a local roaster, Caruso's Coffee Roasters in Brecksville. There was no way we could have our coffee without ordering some of their food items. Bea had the PB&J Granola Bowl and John had the Biscuits and Gravy. 

The PB&J Granola Bowl was refreshing, healthy, and all around delicious. As for the Biscuits and Gravy? THE BEST BISCUITS AND GRAVY AROUND!

To take home we had them pack up one of their Pumpkin Maple Muffins. That's right! A Pumpkin Maple Muffin! Our report is that it was delicious, but you really couldn't taste too much of the maple. The pumpkin was the most dominant flavor.

We are going to take you drink by drink and give our review.

Not only can you grab a cup of coffee or two, but through a doorway it leads you to a cute little shop called Country Roads Mercantile. After drinking our coffee we walked around a bit and found the perfect Christmas gift for a family member. The cashier gave us a perfect idea of how to make the gift more perfect. When we say there is something for everyone, we mean there is something for everyone. 

The Lucky Penny Cafe and Country Roads Mercantile are your one stop shops.

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
