For the Scholars’ “Columbus To Do List” project, I chose to take my taste buds on a sophisticated journey through the exciting world of America’s favorite drug: coffee. Let me start off by saying I could not be more excited to tour Columbus’ finest java joints. There is nothing better than waking up at a cool 11 am and strolling into a hip and happening bistro with nothing in stow but your Buck ID and a couple of your closest pals.
Purchasing coffee fit for the bourgeois and wrapping yourself in a caffeine cocoon, however, is only the first half of this adventure. The real fun is in sharing the latest “hot goss” over a couple of the finest pastries the bistro has to offer. How do I know, you ask? I indulged in such an experience just under two weeks ago. My friends and I were feeling a little extra stressed with studio review rapidly approaching and so we did what any college student would do: we drowned our sorrows in copious amounts of overly priced coffee.
The Fox in the Snow, a local Columbus coffee favorite, provided just the right atmosphere to trash-talk our lives and lift our spirits. Might I add that there is nothing quite like sitting down to drink your cup of Joe only to realize it looks shockingly like the fancy coffee they serve in high-budget movies.
Between everything going on in each of our classes, it was such a relief to get out of Haverfield, where finding only two cockroaches is considered a good day, and explore our city on the cusp of Autumn. Personally, after such a successful outing, I cannot wait to further my espresso experiences.
