Hi Friends, and happy end-of-the weekend! Can you believe that we are already half way through 2014? This year is flying!
I bet you’re wondering what all the extra title on the Sunday Morning Coffee post is all about. Since it’s summertime, and I have much more time to create and explore than I do during the school year, I wanted to jump on opportunity and explore a bit more of my city. So, throughout the summer, I’ll be visiting a coffee shop in the city -sipping bold blends, tasting treats and enjoying a new environment.
Today, I’m blogging (and sipping one incredible latte) from Menagerie Coffee on South 3rd street in Old City, Philadelphia. I also had a delicious turkey sandwich with pesto, artichoke, and chevre -perfect lunch to accompany the latte! I love the atmosphere here -great music and stunning minimal aesthetic. I’ll definitely be back, and bring friends along!
At the start of the summer, I moved into a new apartment. I love the place, but I’ve noticed that I’m a little less than focused and productive when I’m home. Stepping outside and into a new coffee shop will definitely help with keeping me on track and eliminate some distraction.
Now, let’s jump into some links from the week!

How did you spend your weekend?
That sandwich sounds INCREDIBLE. I love the idea of going out and exploring the coffeeshops of your city. :]]]
Hands down, best latte I’ve ever had!
Such a great idea – love this. I may do this on a monthly basis.
Hope you had a great weekend! We ushered in the summer season 🙂
Hope summer is treating you well, and that you’ve found the time to sip some awesome coffee as well!
Wonderful Idea. Its a lot of small local coffee shops here in Atlanta that I should explore this would break me away from the traditional Starbucks and Dunkin’ Donuts.
The quality of coffee in smaller chains literally BLOWS be away! Definitely do some exploring, if you can.
I definitely need to check out Menagerie some day. Thanks for the recommendation and I look forward to seeing more of these posts.
I’m excited to share more! They’re so fun to put together, and I’ve loved getting to explore the coffee scene!
