Coffee shops (as well as gawdy flashy beaded sweaters) are a favorite of mine. While vacationing in fabulous Beech Mtn NC (check it out - great place to ski and to escape the 100 degree heat of the summer - http://www.beechmtn.com/portal/), we ventured down the mountain to Banner Elk for an afternoon. The afternoon was made when we happened upon a great coffee shop - ViVo (142 Main St EBanner Elk, NC 28604-9238 (828) 898-5282). What a treat! Even though I didn't have a coffee that afternoon - chai tea latte - it was a hard decision between that and a vanilla latte. But the easy decision was to enjoy every bite of a slice of their signature Cannoli cake! Heaven in a slice! Oh so yummy! I am going to enjoy searching the internet and testing recipes to attempt to recreate this scrumptious dessert.
But the coffee shop was wonderful - small little tables as well as a little wood table and bench for the kids. And their lunch menu looked so great I was kicking myself for having already had lunch.
What do I enjoy about a coffee shop? The quaintness of it, the intimate feeling of the two seat tables, enjoying minutes as they pass while sipping your coffee. All while having an "adult" conversation with your tween! :)
