I spend a lot of time in coffeeshops. There’s something about them that I find quite addictive. I know they’re feeding my coffee habit but it’s more than just that.
A good coffeeshop is a cocoon where you can sit for hours pondering and watching the world go by. It’s a meeting point, a social hub, but also somewhere that the lone drinkers is happy to sit. A bit like me as I sit writing this. Perhaps I’m being fanciful but they always seem to have a slightly creative buzz about them to me.
Recent years have seen a plethora of new ones open. It almost feels as if we are going back to the time when coffeeshops were more important than pubs. Initially it was the coffee chains popping up but now even the smallest towns seem to have interesting independent places. I know that if I’m travelling anywhere prior knowledge of the local coffee scene is always part of the planning.
As the blog progresses I will write more about the world of coffee, think of this as an espresso ahead of some longer drinks.
The photo below was taken at the table in the Bread Source coffeeshop in Norwich where I wrote this.

I’m not a coffee drinker but I like the idea of sitting in a coffee shop and just watching the people while either working on the computer or reading a magazine. I like the idea but I never do it. It’s easier to work at home? I wish I would make the time to try it out.

It’s not something I set out to do, but I make sure that I have a notebook in my bag so that I can if the chance arrises.
