The Sparrows Coffee Tea and Newsstand

I feel so guilty for only posting one entry in one month. I haven't written anything since high school and this may have been a little ambitious for one so out of practice.  Instead of making excuses I'm going to write. I will find my voice soon enough, for now, I'm just going to put things out there.
 

In the meantime I'm sitting in my favorite Grand Rapids coffee shop, and am fully delighted in my order! For those of you who have never been to The Sparrows, I HIGHLY reccommend it. Okay, okay, I may be a little biased because my best friend, Lori(shown above), owns it, but it really is super enjoyable. Their loose leaf tea collection is quite impressive. Right now, I am totally digging on the Dirty Hairy; it consists of Earl Grey tea, steamed soymilk, and honey. It's so yummy that I dragged my booty out of my apartment, in the freezing cold, to walk down and get one!

Be sure to support this place, it's amazing! There is always such an eclectic mix of people dwelling within; from mothers and adorable children, to students plugging away at their homework or rather procrastinating on facebook, uncomfortable first date meetings, and old friends chatting. Never pretentious, and adorned with local artist's work, this is a great place to hang out or get things done.

Love you guys,
