I believe my youngest daughter was the one who talked me into my first mocha. Nor, do I remember when that happened. However, none of that matters because I am pretty much addicted attached to the coffee life. I am drawn to them because of the atmosphere, the social environment, the craft of the baristas and the coffee itself. I do not consider myself a coffee connoisseur. I even worked for two and a half years as a barista and enjoyed it. I have no desire to know how much money I spend on them. For the past several years the coffee shop has become a part of my morning ritual. I go there to journal, read, meet friends, and take a few photos of this lifestyle. In this gallery you will find images of those who practice the craft, customers who live this coffee life.
