My Little Piece of Heaven.

I'm sitting here, sipping on some of the yummiest hot chocolate I've had in a long time, feeling totally at peace with myself. I believe that the atmosphere of an environment can greatly change an overall experience. That being said. I'm kind of a coffee brat.
 When I woke up, and was in desperate need of coffee this morning. I wasn't really sure where I should go.

Don't get me wrong. Starbucks was my first love, when it came to coffee. And I respect them for that. And a lot of the time, I love spending my time there. But there are Starbucks nationwide. And I love to support smaller coffeeshops anyway.

I love Coffeepod's coffee with all my heart. They have really yummy coffee, and it's all pretty cheap. They also have amazing italian sodas, host open mic poetry nights, and are really welcoming to all the coffee drinking weirdos in utah valley. That being said. I've met some pretty wacky people there, and I just need a small break before I revisit good ol' Coffeepod.

High Vibes Coffee and Crystals is a fun place! They are really influenced by eastern philosophy, which I think is pretty cool. They legitimately have crystals, and all natural ways for emotional healing. And sometimes, they even offer classes. The only thing I've ever had there was a smoothie. It was good, but a little expensive. I'll probably go back soon enough.

But now, I'm sitting at one of the happiest coffee shops I've ever been to. There's lots of comfortable chairs to sit in. There's more rooms upstairs, and downstairs. They have cute mugs to choose from if you're going to stay here. They keep your stamp cards for you so you don't lose them. And free Wifi! The baristas are all really really nice. In fact, the barista that helped me made me feel better today. I was feeling kind of down when I arrived, and now I feel good. And, they offer an LDS menu, filled with herbal teas, hot chocolates, and italian sodas. I'm really excited to bring Dave here. He knows how much I love the coffeeshop experience, and so to find one that plays old time music and smooth enjoyable music, comfortable chairs, offers magazines to read, and has some good places to study, oh man, I think he'll be just as excited as I am. This is the kind of coffeeshop I hope to sit in when I decide to write a self reflective book. Or find myself enough to start painting again.

Where is this place?

It's called Timpanogos Caffee. It's right after 1600 North in orem. So if you're looking for a happy little place to go, come here. Drink some delicious hot chocolate. And smile to yourself, because there's still a little bit of heaven in Orem.
