Great Coffee Shops: Part One

Those of you who know me well know that I LOVE chill coffee shops and eclectic bars... Guess what I found in Franklin, NC?! Both in one!!!

Rathskeller Coffee Haus and Pub

Located right off Main St, this sweet coffee shop/bar opens at 11AM and has live entertainment on weekends... As I'm sipping on a dirty hippie (chai with espresso made in 'weird' milk like soy or almond), I'm perched on a bar stool blogging, and watching the owner, Heidi, bake cookies behind the bar. She knows all the regulars by name and remembered my drink when I came back for my second blog session of the day!

Excellent!!!

Coffee flavored-syrup bottles, pint glasses, plastic containers filled with chocolate chips/brown sugar/baking soda etc. an espresso machine, and old tap handles line the back wall above an oven, stainless countertop covered in baking ingredients and standard bar sink. The walls are cracked plaster over brick, giving the place the sort of old-world feel that sucks you in and invites you to stay for a while.

This place is excellent. Hopefully the first of many great coffee shops on my journey!
