All Hail the Presse Cafe

There's been an empty store front at the end of our street for months now, and M and I have been watching closely to see who'll take it.
Our dream: an independent bookstore with a coffee shop built in.
What happened? First, the store front turned out to be not one, but two store fronts.
Recently, a sushi place opened in one of them. This is very, very good news, but it's not a coffee shop.
More recently, (two weeks ago to be exact), a sign went up in the other window for a Presse Cafe opening soon.
Victory!

Seriously. I live for coffee shops... and incidentally if you're ever in downtown Ottawa, go to Planet Coffee. My favourite coffee shop ever... and amazing black bean soup and carrot cake too!

This is why I always make a point of living within an easy commute (15 minutes or less walking) of a coffee establishment. I need my exercise and a reward at the end.

"I need my exercise and a reward at the end"... Love it! Absolutely Love it :)
And I can totally relate.... I'm loving me some hard earned fudgsicle after a workout today...
