For my scholars to-do list I chose to do the coffee experiences. I am from Toledo and there is not very much to do there. One of the few things we have are cute coffee shops downtown! I was really excited to move to Columbus because it is a bigger city and has a lot of cute places to go to including a lot of coffee shops! I was very excited to do the coffee experiences for this project because I hadn’t gotten to go to any yet. I was mostly hoping to find a new place to go drink coffee and study at and also get to know the short north a little bit better!

On Saturday, me and THE Olivia Mullen ? went to the short north to go to a couple of coffee shops for the project. The first coffee shop we went to was One Line Coffee. We both got a black coffee and talked to the barista for about twenty minutes about how they make their coffee. We were both very impressed by how much of a process there was for making a single cup of coffee! While this coffee shop was cool I do not think that I’ll go back anytime soon because it was 4$ for a plain cup of coffee and it wasn’t that great.

The second coffee shop we went to was called Mission Coffee. I really liked this coffee shop! I got a vanilla latte and it was really good. The shop itself was also super cute. It was really dark inside but one of the walls was just one large window which lit the room in an interesting way. We were also one of the only customers there so we just talked to the baristas for a while and had a fun conversation. I will definitely go back to Mission!

I really liked doing the first part of this project! On top of going to these two coffee shops, me and Liv also went to a couple of really cool thrift stores and looked around for a little bit. We also walked through the downtown Columbus Halloween bash which was really cool!
