John:  So, where’s your favorite place to go to coffee Sara?

Sara:  Well, John, I really like Coffee Time on 21st.

John:  Really? I don’t think I’ve ever been there.

Sara:  You’ve never been there? It’s like a total hipster hangout. Which maybe is why you haven’t been there.

John:  Oh, that’s pretty funny. What’s so cool about it?

Sara:  Well, they have really good outdoor seating with a heater so you can sit out there when it’s cold.

John:  Oh yeah.

Sara:  And there’s all these people like hanging out, playing chess. And there’s all kinds of cool stuff to read inside.

John:  Oh. You know what? I have been there before.

Sara:  Oh, now you remember.

John:  But it wasn’t really my style. The food wasn’t very good.

Sara:  Well, they don’t really have food.

John:  Yeah. See, I like something to snack on.

Discussion

Certainly, anything that makes sitting outside in the cold comfortable is a good idea. This place is really cool because you can hang out around the heater and chill for hours.
It’s not the only place to go for coffee in Portland though. Every neighborhood has its own little coffee shop with its own group of regulars.
It sounds like Sara is one of the regulars at Coffee Time. Are you and your friends regulars at any place?

There are some plases to go to coffee  which I prefer to others, but I am not a regular there, and do not hang out  for hours there when alone.


I am a coffee lover, and always order it when eating out, and drink it at home almost every morning. I like coffee to be strong, with some milk and a little bit shugar in it- it cheers me up before working day.
