Blog Post #3- A Fly on the Wall-REVISED

As your driving along 41^st avenue in Capitola down towards the beach, you pass small local clothing, surf, and house ware shops. Right before the road turns in to a one way you can’t go down along the cliffs, there’s a little coffee shop on the left side called Verve. When you walk in the aroma of hot coconut cream tea and yummy lattes engulf you. You can either sit at the modern wooden tables or along the bar that looks out the window across the street to Zen Trading Company, and the palm trees that line the street. Looking around the coffee shop local artist’s art lines the walls from painted skateboards, strange sculptures, and abstract paintings that stretch from the floor to the ceiling. I chose to sit at one of the little wooden tables and had a heavenly soy latte, served in an oversized white mug. The baristas at Verve always make each coffee special and unique by forming heart or leaf shapes into the foamy milk with the delicious espresso, which is roasted right next door in their roasting shop. The latte is so flavorful you don’t even need sugar, but a little sprinkle of their homemade Mexican chocolate powder makes it to die for. Even though everyone in Verve is working on homework, work projects, or just surfing the net, on Verve’s free Wi-Fi internet, every seems very content with their warm tea, hot coffee, or delectable pastry.
