what is it about cafes?

i live near one about 3 block down but i choose to bike to another cafe about 20 minutes away. I love the energy they give. It's as if they're screaming for you to leave your own couch and sit gult free on theirs.

dont get me wrong i love it! when i need to study i find myself coming to a cafe. The music, the smell of coffee (of which i don't drink), the people, the cozy environment; this all scream welcome! my home is your home (although im not sure if ur allowed to take off your shoes.)

Anywho i digress, i love cafes. And by that i don't mean starbucks, or its a grind. Nothing against the chain coffee shops, but i dont feel the personal sentamental value of a small coffee shop nestling on the corner of a busy street.

point being..support your local coffee shops.
