Coffee Shop (let's chat)

Yes it is Wegmans store brand. They have a ton of choice beans to grind it yourself or just get the whole beans and do it at home. I have a Keurig and get their K Cups. I am from Buffalo Ny (Western NY)

So you’re my neighbor then.

I’ll check it out next time I’m at Wegmans.

I guess so, lol. Buffalo is in Western Ny and, I would be about 350 or so miles from NYC. Yes, do check out their coffee section!

I know, I’ve driven through Buffalo once when I went to Canada.

You went via the Peace Bridge?

You went via the Peace Bridge?

It was a long time ago, I was 17 so I wouldn’t remember highways or bridges.

I didn't get an alert for these posts, wonder why not.

Sometimes the alerts are a bit vague...

The probable route...

Oh Gosh...I LOVE the Seattle dark roast...right now I have been using what I think, is quite comprable to it but...it is a "Wegmans" brand and it is awesome...I LOVE coffee and am about to make a cup right now! Wegmans is a wonderful grocery store here...they are branching out toward the South now.

Around here we do see Seattle's Best brand sometimes.

Unless he came through Niagara Falls then, it would have been the Rainbow bridge

...or the Lewiston bridge...

We don't have any good coffee places here in my town. Costa is probably the best and there's a Starbuck's as well but I've never tried them. I like Americano with cream, and strong and bitter. I don't usually drink coffee at home.

Yes, the Lewiston-Queenston is probably the most busy crossing into Canada from the Western Ny area from what I hear. Forgot about that one!

There's also a footbridge in Niagara Falls, I think, apart from the Rainbow Bridge.

I gave up coffee decades ago...

(Must be almost on my own in North America...)

If it's not too noisy, Starbucks can be a good place for tea and for reading a book...

I don't drink coffee either, but find that "going to the coffee" shop to be common social gathering place to meet with people and catch up on things. I used to have a group we went weekly to a local place to write papers together (work thing). Hey, the barista even recognized me-- I was the lady who always showed up Friday at 9 am, and ordered the keesh - and just the keesh (it was good!).

I've spent hours at a local Starbucks reading. They even have a well appointed bookshelf there, and lounge seats. There is even a private garden for Starbucks customers, where ppl can sit at tables in the sun.

(There was a news item a while ago about a barista at Starbucks who claimed she had been fired because she had a tattoo. I can't really believe this was all there was to it; it seems almost typical of baristas to have piercings/tattoos.)

I stayed at Niagara Falls.

Yes I walked across that bridge!

Walking lends itself to day trips across the border at Niagara Falls, but when you have an onward journey it doesn't really work so well.

I was in Canada for about a week and camped at some camping ground, I was a teen.
