french press mornings: a #simplygreycoffeetour
morning! i am so thrilled today to introduce you all to a new series that emily {love her} at ember grey and i are launching today. we have decided to explore different coffee houses and cafes around our cities of charlotte and nashville each week {along with our travels from time to time}; to read, write, blog, sip some delicious cups of joe and tea and most importantly… spend quality time with our loved ones or enjoy some alone time/serenity in the process. we will be hosting a link-up on the last friday of each month and would love for you all to join us! go explore, snap some photos using #simplygreycoffeetour -along with a hashtag for the city {ex. #simplygreycoffeetour #charlotte}
{we will be sharing our favorites} and then link-up with us! we can’t wait to see what you find and where you decide to sit and enjoy some precious moments this month. our first link-up will be on friday, february 27. ^ above is one of our buttons {which will be available soon} *this photo was taken at my favorite coffee house in st. louis missouri, cafe osage, which is the city where this idea was inspired by… a special thank you to my beautiful sister and brother-in-law for the wonderful idea.

sweet emily of ember grey + nelle of simply love = a #simplygreycoffeetour
meet emily:
…
here’s to some french press mornings and cozy evenings ahead.
ps: i am also currently setting up a coffee bar in willow that i can’t wait to share with you!
… what i look for in a coffee spot:
{25 coffee shops around the world to see before you die}
one: a cozy and eclectic atmosphere
two: a wide variety of beverages
three: good tunes- esp. live music
if not, i will plug into some of my favorite stations on pandora
such as: joe purdy, norah jones, avett brothers, billie holiday, the honey trees, or regina spektor
four: reasonable prices
who’s in favor of happy hour coffees?
seriously- this should be implemented.
five: late night hours… as a night owl, these are huge for me.
…a 9pm starbuck’s close doesn’t usually work well for me…
when i lived in walking distance, i have been known to venture from there to another shop in one night- so places that stay open late/24 hours are ideal for me.
… what do you look for in a great coffee house or cafe…
also, in case you missed yesterday’s post– feel free to enter to win $100 cash!

This is such a great linkup! I look for similar things in a coffee shop 🙂 Especially if they're unique and have mismatched furniture or real mugs and cool kitsch around !
