We're going on vacation. We leave next week for 10 days in Michigan, my husband's home state. This should be an exciting time as we are going for a wedding and visiting family and friends that we haven't seen in about seven years (!!!) - but seriously, one of the first things i asked my husband about where we are vacationing, "where will we get our coffee?"
His friend that will be promising to love, cherish, and honor his bride next weekend is a fairly fresh coffee addict (we introduced him to the 'good stuff' during his vacation out here a few years back) - so he's been searching out good coffee for us.
Unfortunately, according to prince charming, the best coffee in town is on the college campus, in the library I believe.. I suppose we could go all '21 Jumpstreet' and try to blend in with the other college 'kids.' Maybe put some college decals on the stroller for our littlest one. Of course it IS summer break.. maybe we won't stand out so bad as we pull up in our minivan.
So here I am putting this question out to any Midwestern Coffee Lovers (MCL's) in the Big Rapids, Michigan area (If i'm not mistaken, I believe this is the base of the ring finger for lower Michigan).. where, oh where, will I find a good cup of joe?

Love this blog -- great idea. Just wondering since you're in the NW -are you a Starbucks loyalist, or being a "coffee snob" is it equal to muttering a four-letter word around your house...?
You know, there are so many other coffee places that don't get the attention they deserve - we are all about discovering new fantastic coffees roasted right here in our backyard. Starbucks isn't *quite* a four-letter word in our house (since they are a Seattle company) and I have to admit that I haven't found a coffee house or drive-thru that can match or beat their peppermint mocha - but that's pretty much where it ends as far as they are concerned. Most days I'm more than fine with passing up on the peppermint mocha, and opting for an americano or a non-fat almond latte somewhere new and local.
