I chose to do the Coffe and Tea list this semester. I’m looking forward to going to Mission Coffe and seeing all of the art that has been done by local artists. I hope to find good, quiet places to study when I am in desperate need of a change of scenery. Also, I’m looking for a place that I can meet up with my friends after a long day and just relax with a cup of tea or coffee. For my first experience, I went to Impero with Katie Quinlin and Chase Egner. The coffee shop was cute and had vinyl records in the background. I order a chai latte and got to sip it at the bar as my friends and I talked about our day. The chai latte was one of the best chai lattes that I have had in a long time. The barista was the only one working but he doubled as a DJ for he chose the music to play on the machine. I was confused about where to put my cup after I was finished. The shop had a small container under a table for used cups. I learned that taking a few minutes on a busy day to sip some tea and catch up with your friends can improve your day greatly. I would recommend Impero to any of my friends. The environment allowed for any objective from a friendly conversation to a working environment. Also, another plus is that Impero is only a short bus ride or walk away from the Union.
I did the coffee and tea one too, and it was very good! It’s nice to explore Columbus, and there are so many places it has to offer. Although one thing I found was that not many places at Wifi. I recommend going to Fox in the Snow, long bus ride but worth it.
