Coffee Shops

I love coffee shops. There is something about the smell of the air, the music that is played and the people sitting inside. I enjoy the mom & pop shops particularly because many have that homey feel they give as you walk in and they know your name and what kind of coffee you like most. Oh, and I love went they have their open mic nights! The poetry that is spoken, the young artist trying to get someone to listen to his music and the lovely set up of a small stage, a chair and a mic, showing that all the flashy concerts with their huge set ups are not needed but that simplicity can be enough. I may not be an avid coffee drinker but if I could simply sit in a coffee shop and enjoy the atmosphere all day I would.
