There are many reasons I'm a coffeehouse lover. First and foremost, I'm a writer. To me, there is nothing more relaxing and conducive to creative juices flowing than sitting in a comfortable, overstuffed chair with a hot cup of coffee or tea by my side.
The service at coffeehouses is amazing, and the people there are always smiling and cheery (even at the God awful hour of 6 am). Also, I get something at coffeehouses that I can't get at home: a decent espresso drink. I don't have time to deal with foaming and frothing milk, nor do I want the hassle of steam burns and a mess in the kitchen.
When I go to a coffeehouse, everything is prepared perfectly and I don't have to clean anything up. If that's not worth $3, I don't know what is!
Plus, the variety found at my local coffeehouse is unlike anything in any home I've ever seen. While I like cappuccinos and lattes as much as the next girl, sometimes I like to switch things up a bit. When I feel like a cup of ginger green tea, I can have it. If I change my mind and decide that I want a sweet and blended frozen beverage, I can have that too, all without having to go to a store.
Also, the company found at my local coffeehouse is second to none. There are artsy people, professional men and women in suits, college students and more. It's a slice of life and something I appreciate sitting in the midst of.
Probably the best out of all of the reasons I'm a coffeehouse lover is the fact that I can get free wireless internet. I don't have to pay $60 a month for wireless, I can just head down the street to a coffeehouse, something I'd be doing anyway.
