Caffé Driade 

This was our first time visiting Chapel Hill, NC. We decided to visit to see our friends of 30+ years. They stood by our sides during our wedding. Our friendship has always been held close and dear to us. Knowing we were going to be staying in Chapel Hill we decided that a stop at a local coffee shop was a must. This is where our adventure at Caffé Driade begins. 


When driving down the road you need to pay attention or you will pass right by it. Once you pull into the drive you will see several parking spots. If for some reason they're all occupied, don't fret. Just follow the signs for additional parking. 


When pulling in make sure that you go to the building in the back. The building closest to the street belongs to Carrboro Coffee Roasters. The coffee shop is located behind it. It sits back in the woods. The whole vibe of it is so relaxing, and a unique concept to be surrounded by nature while drinking coffee. 


The coffee shop, itself, is a bit small inside. There are a few tables to sit at, but you don't want to sit inside when you can be sitting outside with nature. They are quite busy so you need to have an idea of what you want to drink/eat. We thought they had a good system to keep the foot traffic moving. You will order and then move outside through the back door where they bring you your drinks. This gives you an opportunity to check out some of the scenery while you grab a table. 




This would be a perfect location if you wanted to take someone on a first date. They have quite a bit of privacy, and a trail for a walk. 



After a long day of traveling we were wanting to get some coffee and a little bite to eat. The staff was helpful and answered any questions that were asked. One of the recommendations received was the Brown Sugar Oat Latte.  The drink was okay. Our one complaint with it was that the spices were a bit much. It took away from any coffee flavor. On the plus side it wasn't overly sweet. 

Their house blend coffee was added. It had the aroma of honey, but the flavor was missing. It didn't have a burnt or bitter taste. It was good, but we were not fans of it. 

For food...Bea ordered the Asiago Cheese Scone and John had the Ham and Cheese roll. Both of these were delicious. 



The outdoor seating is what makes this coffee location unique and worth the visit. Sitting, listening to the birds sing as you enjoy your coffee. It's definitely worth a return visit.

Anna Bean Coffee Company

Anna Bean Coffee Company 361 4th St NW Barberton, OH 44203 Anna Bean Coffee Company Who would have thought that in 1890, The Erie Depot, the first commercial building would go from being a rail station to a well known coffee shop in Barberton, Ohio? In 2022, Anna Bean Coffee Company became a new stop along the, once known, Erie Railroad. Not only, is this coffee shop full of rich history, but those of us on social media may have heard of the "Sign Wars 44203" in Barberton. Anna Bean Coffee Company was involved in the "sign war." For those of us that don't live in town, this is a fun and positive thing to see in a community. We feel that it drives people to come and see for themselves.   "April showers bring coffee flowers" Our first impression of Anna Bean Coffee Company was curiosity. The outside alone piqued our interest to see what they had to offer. If you're into trains and history then this is the place for you. Coffee is just the icing on th...

Keepsmiling A' Latte Kesson & Co.

Keepsmiling A'Latte Kesson & Co. 162A West Pine Street Mount Airy, North Carolina 27030 Keepsmiling A'Latte Kesson & Co. After a long night of travelling we were desperately in need of some coffee. We knew that Mount Airy, North Carolina was close to where we were heading. A little coffee shop located downtown Mount Airy called Keepsmiling A'Latte. Mount Airy is not only known to be a cute little town, but it is the home of Andy Griffith. Anyone that grew up watching The Andy Taylor show knows Mayberry. After walking around to stretch our legs we made our way to the coffee shop. The birds were still waking up by the time we were strolling through the doors. After our good morning greeting we were told to ask the barista about the story based around Keepsmiling A'Latte. We won't give the story away, but if you ever make it to Mount Airy be sure to stop in and have them tell you. It will definitely bring tears to your eyes.  Kesson When we were deciding on our...

Little Birdie Wine Nest

Little Birdie Wine Nest 6060 Broadview Road Parma, OH 44134 Little Birdie Wine Nest Parma, Ohio is the old stomping grounds for Bea. She grew up in the area many years prior to heading off to Colorado to marry the love of her life...John. We were coming in the area for a concert and wanted to grab some coffee prior to meeting up with the other party.  While looking for a coffee shop, Little Birdie Wine Nest caught our attention. We looked over what they had to offer and thought it would make for a perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee or two. If anyone that knows us would know that we would lean more towards two or more cups of coffee 😊 Once you enter you will be able to see that they have a little something for everyone. Not only can you get coffee, but you can select wine from a large selection. We do have to add that they have several social events taking place. Check out the website to get the most up to date information.  They have several items that you can choose from...
