Well, hello friends! Long time no write! The last couple weeks (okay, more than just a couple, more like the last 6 or 7) have been quite a whirlwind. I started medical school at the Idaho College of Osteopathic Medicine (ICOM) in Meridian, Idaho (right next to Boise) and Kim started law school at GeorgeContinue reading “Form and Function”

The Little Garden Cafe looks like any normal strip mall in not the best location (by a gas station in Northern Spokane). Buttttttt this coffee shop reminds us of the adage, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” I would add don’t judge this building by its exterior.  Once you step in, your eyes don’tContinue reading “Little Garden Cafe, Spokane, WA”

“As we sat here, my soul was happy,” Kayla muttered as we left this beautiful coffeeshop. She summed up why we go to coffeeshops, why we write about coffeeshops and I dare say why 64% of adults sip on a cup of this brown drink each day perfectly. Maple Street Bistro is a coffeeshop inContinue reading “Maple Street Bistro, Spokane, WA”

“Let today be a day where you take nothing for granted. For life is fleeting, fragile and precious and can change on a whim.” Jackson Kiddard Wow. Artos exceeds expectations. We entered the industrial building at 7 am on a Wednesday expecting an interior to match the exterior, but were happily met by the warmContinue reading “Arctos Coffee”

With a complicated name but straightforward approach, Twenty Seventh Heaven is a coffee hole-in-the-wall, unique find in South Spokane. They did not get the regulars they have from serving froo-froo lattes but rather from serving their coffee black (ok some cream) alongside one of their delicious baked goods. I’m talking bagels, scones, bread, pastries, fullContinue reading “Twenty Seventh Heaven, South Spokane, WA”

At First Avenue (aptly named for its location), their tag line is damn good coffee. I have to admit that I agree. I went here first thing on a Monday morning in hopes of starting my week off right. After missing the turn like five times (love one way streets), I eventually got parked. IContinue reading “First Avenue Coffee, Spokane, WA”

We get here, annnnnnd Kayla impulse orders. Have you ever done this or is it just us? Usually, we are indecisive, but even more so today as we get to the front of the line and the menu is just brimming with unique creations. Who could blame us? Okay, we get to the front ofContinue reading “Coeur D’Alene Coffee Company”

We grew up in Spokane (40 minutes West of this city) and I cannot, to this say, spell this darn word. I mean really.  But don’t let my misspelling deceive you, I lovvve this town—it’s not just me, though. It is currently the fastest growing city in the U.S.! I can see the appeal—a wideContinue reading “Best coffee in Ceour dlane? Ceour delene? Ceour d’Alene.”

With each ring of the answering machine, I watched my dreams of going to a coffee shop start to slip farther and farther away.  With no call back in sight, we decided to cut our losses and switch up our plan. With all intentions to go to one coffeeshop, my twin and I ended up atContinue reading “One World, Moscow, ID”

Every time Kayla and I introduce ourselves, the inevitable “What do you do?” question follows. In response, we explain how I will be attending law school & her medical school. A chorus of praise usually follows and a “wow your parents should be proud.” Well, they should I guess, and they are. But that isContinue reading “What is the meaning of your cup?”
