At Starbucks

I love coffee, he likes chai tea. We love our habitual lifestyle of finding a corner cafe and relaxing away from home. Though our ideas of where that place should be is different. We agreed we should find a suitable place that we both could love. In our search for common grounds (he he) we both set out to discover our cafe utopia. This was new for the both of us, for Justin it was a way to discover Milwaukee, for me it was a way to get out of a rutted routine. I had gone to the same cafe in the same neighborhood for over 3 years. It was time for change...funny ...is that change happens the way it wants not necessarily the way you pictured. While in Virginia we found this place we both LOVED called Capt. Buzzys. Great Mom and Pop place with great home roasted coffee beans with the best Iced Coffee ever- with real coffee iced cubes, plus the chai had a perfect chai to milk ratio. Great environment, tall ceilings, fun neighborhood! I was hoping we could find the same here. NOPE. We searched high and low . Some places had good coffee, bad chai, others the opposite. We ended up going to Starbucks, first out of familiarity, then out of comfort. I know some of you are die hard mom and pop shop patrons, I was too for most of my life. I was hung up on this. Then we moved to our cute little house, right around the corner from a Starbucks. Where we go daily. The staff has become familiar. So has our corner table. Thats where I am writting this very blog. At Starbucks you will find a consistent coffee, a perfect chai, a comfortable corner, and you will find Justin and I. Finding each other among the chaos of life. 2 very different people finding common ground in love.
