Coffee Season on the Crystal Coast
Coffee Season on the Crystal Coast
To me, coffee is an everyday thing, to some coffee starts with the fall. Many people choose to have coffee when the fall chill starts and continues into the winter months. For me, coffee season on the Crystal Coast is pumpkin spiced lattes and hot coffee. This switches up my daily summer coffee scene of frozen coffee and iced lattes. There are so many ways to enjoy coffee and if you’re a local or a vacationer, the Crystal Coast has many small coffee shops to try out.
If you are not a coffee drinker, these shops also have drinks and snacks for you as well. One even welcomes dogs and provides pup-a-chinos for your furry friend! Browse these small businesses and don’t forget to always shop local. Feel free to let me know what your favorite coffee is, I am always open to trying new things.
