I take our coffee talks very seriously… As in, coffee is usually the subject. I'm beginning to think it is my next favorite thing to nerd out about aside from fibers and I always try to seek out the sweet local spots when I am on the road. I think you can tell a lot about a town by their locally owned cafes. 

Kat and I have both been on the road a lot pursuing new and old opportunities to share our work all over the country. We’ve been caravanning with other local folks, staying in a variety of AirBnB situations, and always seeking coffee.

Never to be without, Kat always comes prepared for the morning with her sweet little steel French press, local coffee from home, and all the accouterments. That just usually isn’t enough. Ha!

It’s been really fun to explore what each place we visit has to offer.  It has even been pretty great to rediscover that a massive cold brew from a Boston chain can still hit the spot in a pinch, especially when it is far from sweater weather at Maryland Sheep & Wool.

Recently we found ourselves in Wooster, OH at the Great Lakes Fiber Show. I was beyond delighted to find they had a sweet little local coffee cart alongside their food trucks on site all weekend called Ott’s Coffee with the cutest little otter mascot. I, of course, needed to have a sticker. (Oh by the way, we have stickers available too!!!)

What’s your favorite coffee spot when you are out of town? Do you seek out new places? We have lots of travel coming up the remainder of the year and know we will be sharing more of our own coffee adventures. Maybe we will run into you at a cool local spot!
