Another week, another post. I realize that I don't have an about me of any sort on this blog as of yet... maybe I should get to that. Eh, I'm lazy. Anyway, for those who don't know (as if anyone actually reads this), I've quickly become a huge coffee fan. What started as buying a miniature coffee maker for my dorm to keep me awake during late nights has turned into almost an obsession. These past few months in particular, I have occupied myself with creating the perfect cup of french press coffee and searching for my favorite coffee place in Gainesville.
Thus begun the Tour de Coffee: my exploration of all things coffee in Gainesville (specific shops, the best non coffee specific places to get it, my own personal coffee adventures...), beginning with Curia on the Drag. This past Sunday was my first time going, and I will most definitely be going back. I'm a huge fan of iced coffee (especially in this Florida heat) and their cold brew just does magical things to my taste buds. It's smooth but nice and strong. Can you tell that I don't know much about coffee aromas? I'm trying. Or maybe not really.
Curia is small but with a great vibe, comfortable seating, and lots of things to look at. Maybe not the best place for studying, but a great place for hanging out. My favorite part, I think, is the dinosaur statue chilling outside. Not sure if it even goes with the coffee shop... not really sure why it's there at all... hopefully with more visits, I will find out.
For those not too interested in coffee, Curia also serves a variety of teas, beer, and wine. I saw they have Swamphead Big Nose IPA and let me tell you, I cannot wait for the day I turn 21.
Reading this while sipping my morning joe. Love it!
