Just 'cos

Still waiting for the much anticipated snowflake to magically fall from the sky...

Just thought I'd list some of my favorite things for the rest of the month:

Coffee shops:

Star Life on the Oasis Café-University District, Seattle
This would be where I had that fantastic shot of espresso.  Attached to the Grand Illusion Theatre.

Bedlam (Coffee and Toast) - Belltown, Seattle
Make the only coffee shop chai that I'll drink, also serve rose mochas hitting my soft spot for consuming all things floral.  If they are annoyed by all the Meisner work going on in there, they've been very polite about it.

Joe Bar - Capitol Hill, Seattle
Crepes, beer, coffee, really good value in a cheese plate.  My favorite place to read.

The Oddfellows Café (technically, not really a coffee shop) - Capitol Hill, Seattle
Rarely feel cool enough to come in here alone any time except the morning, but love, love, love the ambiance.

Honorable mentions: Café on the Ave (U-District)- used to study here all the time when it was Café Roma, has the right amount of noise for me to concentrate.  (Had two exhibits here.)
Café Allegro (U-District)-Oldest coffee house in Seattle, have spent a lot of time here over the years.
Bahaus/B&O both have had to relocate due to demolition, have not visited them at their new locations, spent a lot of time in the old ones.
Victrola (15th Ave location, Capitol Hill)
Burke Museum Café (U-District) - another good study location, although lately I've sat outside.
The Grateful Bread (Wedgewood)- they have really good sandwiches. (Had an exhibit here, and again, technically not really just a coffee shop, more of a bakery.)

Feeling hopeful and quite giddy, perhaps too much caffeine.
