The first real snow day of the season. A message from a friend: coffee break? And so I lace up my Bean Boots, throw my laptop in a bag, and trudge down the hill to the North Star Music Cafe.
I love this place. Ever since I discovered their wireless internet access, I’ve gone there to work at least once a week, sometimes more. It’s homey, with overstuffed couches and a kids’ play area, and the vegetarian-friendly food is simple, fresh, and often comes from local farms. What more could I possibly want?
Oh, right. Friendly staff. Got that too.
This morning: an “everything” spelt bagel with olive oil, freshly ground black pepper, tomato, and avocado. So simple, and so delicious.
And then I stayed after chatting with my friend, and worked through lunch: A huge bowl of beans and and brown rice with red onion, cheddar, tomatoes, and avocado. (I like avocado!)
It’s so funny, you know? They bill themselves as a music cafe, a proper coffeehouse. They even have beer on tap — sip your HSA while enjoying the open mic night. But I’ve never really gone there for any of the shows. This will have to change.
