Technologist, Jason Perlow, starts out writing the newsbreak -- "As the great Obi-Wan Kenobi once said, 'I felt a great disturbance in the Force...as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.'"
I heard that some Starbucks stores are closing down! To all of us coffee lovers, this is not good news. I tried to track down the most updated list of the stores closing in St. Charles county, MO. This is what I have found:
There is a cafe and coffee shop circuit in every city that serves as the office for many freelancers, entrepreneurs and off-site workers. You’ve seen them. They are typing away at their laptops with the focused precision of a brain surgeon. When they come up for air they often are ready … (0 comments)

The latest and largest study seems to show that moderate coffee drinking (up to six cups a day), may not only be good for you, but may actually prolong your life. The study showed this to be especially true in women. The study followed over 86,000 women and over 41,000 men from … (4 comments)

Cowboy Coffee
I was reading this blog post Stop and Smell the coffee by Connor MACIVOR here on Active Rain and it reminded me of something my brother told me about when we were out camping one time long ago. He said that cowboys made coffee in a special way. Without … (8 comments)
So here it is morning again and though it may might be easy to want to roll over and hit the snooze button....get up, stretch and start your day.....the minute you get moving the day will get better.
Mine Does!
We have to apologize in advance to our daughter, Allison, who is a manager at Starbucks ... but we have found a new favorite place for coffee called Caffe Piccolo Paradiso.

Ahhh...
I am a big fan of supporting local businesses within my community. Today, I want to recommend a great little local coffee company, Sacred Grounds. Sacred Grounds is hidden within the trees at 12485 South 900 East. It does take a bit of searching to find it, but it's atmosphere more … (0 comments)
This is a beach scene on the Gulf of Mexico, just 15 minutes away. One of the reasons everyone loves Southwest Florida. You can enjoy the beach during the day and see the most magnificent sunsets in the evening. It truly is Paradise.
Hi, my name is Rob and I am a caffeine addict. It has been...about 30 seconds since my last fix. I know how cliche this is, for a Seattle professional to talk about all the caffeine they consume, but its true. Evey year at about this time I force myself to … (6 comments)
Happy Friday.
The Village of Anything is Possible... 
Wondering where to find and devour a delicious, extra-ordinary ice cream cone in beautiful Maggie Valley, complete with wi-fi hot spot, fresh coffee and easy parking? Whether you want to lick it, drink it, or drizzle it, you will find a delicious, wide and wild assortment at Jude’s Coffee & … (3 comments)
Living in the Pacific Northwest, and being a stone's throw across the Sound from Seattle, we are literally inundated with coffee shops & espresso stands on nearly every corner. From the major players like Starbuck's, Tully's, and Seattle's Best, to the smaller venues like "Natte Latte," we have a wealth of choices to get our … (0 comments)
Are you looking for a place to get away, a place to hang out for a little while? Maybe a place to go on a Saturday night that has live music without the alcohol? A place to sit down with a great cup of coffee and free wifi? You'll find it at Django's Coffee … (4 comments)
Joe Bean's is the best coffee shop in the Burg! I get a cappuccino with soy and sugar free vanilla syrup. Yesterday I had their wintry mix which is a mocha with Carmel and coconut. It was deli-sh!
Well, my eyes are clouded over this morning and Pepe, my chihuahua, says he's not getting out of bed. Which means, don't leave me, come back to bed and keep me warm. I resist the temptation and head to the coffee pot. Yes, I tell myself, "it's a beautiful day in … (4 comments)
A few years back my wife and I decided to buy a coffee shop. It turned out to be the greatest thrill of our lives. Yes, on one side of the main street, Starbucks, and on the other side of the main street, Dunkin Donuts. You may think we made a … (1 comments)
Sitting here sipping on a hot cup of coffee in the early morning hours, I think about my morning routine. I have two young boys that are on a set schedule and love the consistency of it. I too can relate, my mornings start between 0500 and 0530 everyday doing my research … (4 comments)
Brix Wine Bar in Juanita is one of the reasons that the Juanita area is HOT. They have a great menu, terrific atmosphere, cheerful waitstaff, killer Sangria and Mac and Cheese on the Happy Hour offerings. Try them out for Happy Hour on a Sunday afternoon; not crowded and a blast … (0 comments)
Are you looking for something fun to do in downtown Lynchburg on a Saturday night? Check out the Starlight Cafe. Offering more than a cup of coffee, we were pleasantly surprised with the live entertainment. Several groups performed including The Wright Brothers who were our favorites with their blue grass style music. … (1 comments)
If you're looking for a night out at a cozy, comfortable place and don't want alcohol to enter the equation, give The Fine Grind Cafe in Little Falls a try. 
Recently, my wife and I decided to spend more time together...just the two of us. See, we have children, and children can sometimes take up a lot of your time. Now, I'm not saying that my wife and I don't love our children, and love spending time with them, it is just that … (0 comments)
If you've driven past the corner of Tryon and Walnut in Cary, NC lately, you may have noticed a new shopping area slowly coming to life. The signs have been there for close to a year now - "Walgreens coming soon". 
...until I got into Real Estate. Yes, I'd always have the occasional latte or mocha at (insert local favorite coffee shop here), but it was never a real thing. For 3 years I was a full-time radio disc jockey doing nights, and then afternoons, and lived off of fast food and Mountain … (6 comments)
Is it just me, or are there an insane number of kids drinking coffee nowadays?
PART 1 PART 2 PART 3
Many years ago I used to frequent a coffee shop before Starbucks really went wild building everywhere.
Ahhhh..feet hit the floor, automatic coffee maker brewing your favorite blend. Are you a coffee drinker? Do you add a twig of this, a shot of honey or twist of that to make it your special elixir? Or do you drink it black? Over 85 million cups of java consumed … (7 comments)
Does anyone work from a coffee shop? I was at the mall the other day working on my laptop inside Borders and had my real estate stuff on and had several people chat with me about the market.....I am thinking of making up a small sign that says if you have … (27 comments)

I recently visited a Jungle Java the other day. It was amazing how many moms of toddlers and young children showed up. The day happened to be a rainy morning and to my suprise moms and children started filtering in after 10am. I would have expected earlier if they had dropped … (8 comments)
A fellow REALTOR called me this afternoon and asked what I was doing. I told her I was following up on a lead that I had just received from Active Rain. She said, "I don't have time for that. I spend all my time with "real people".
Just wanted to invite everyone to join us at La Taza next Saturday!

AND its for a good cause, what else could you ask for!?See … (0 comments)
Les Beans Coffee is a bohemian utopia just North of Downtown Lake Worth Florida. In the play (and movie) Rent there is a great song called La Vie Bohème. It is a salute to the "Bohemian" lifestyle of artists and the coffee houses where they perform and exhibit their works. Since … (7 comments)
Hello All,
We all know I love coffee as much as Bertha loves BLOGGING!
Would you give cola to your dog?
This is a quick one. I am writing a new article and need your help with an analogy. Just a simple yes or no would do but feel free to comment.I love Starbucks. Although, I'm not so much of a junkie to use their lingo of tall, grande, or vente. I … (20 comments)
Just got this in an email, not sure who wrote it..but everyword of it is true! 
Remember the last time you grabbed a cup of coffee and even through the paper guard it was to hot to hold and no where close to drinkable, well now there's a way to know when it's just right. I'm talking about color changing coffee lids by Smart Lid Systems. 
An agent on my team and his loan guy went on broker's open tours yesterday. One place was giving away coffee cards as and incentive. We today his wife tried to use the card at the coffee shop and the cashier told her that there was no money on the card. I told him … (18 comments)
I love the rich smell of coffee beans and their brew–and the hissing sounds of expresso machines at work.
I drink more coffee, so I can sleep less hours, so I can spend more time on Active Rain, so I can generate business, so I can make more money, so I can buy more coffee, so I can sleep less hours.....etc., etc., etc. You get the point. 
There's an article in today's New York Times that describes psychological experiments that "prime" the subconscious mind to be more open to certain behavior.In particular, they cited one study in which laboratory assistants -- who were in on the experiment -- bumped into subject participants on their way to the lab … (6 comments)
While I was sitting at the local coffee shop this morning it occurred to me that I have a satellite office - and I don't pay any rent! Woooohoooo!
I DON'T REMEMBER HOW OLD I WAS WHEN I WAS INTRODUCED TO THESE MAGIC BEANS. But, I do know that I cannot survive one day without them. These little beans have some mysterious quality that enables me. I feel more powerful after I have them. My relationship with them is like a sick … (23 comments)
Why are robots always the villains? Why are robots always portrayed as shifty aggressors with ulterior motives? Why can't robots be taken for what they are, our friends who happen to be artificially intelligent creatures who are PROGRAMMED to serve humanity. 
As I am sure most everyone has noticed Bellingham has a plethora of coffee stands, shops and cafes. I would like to point out that my caffeine consumption alone probably justifies this amount of java stops. Having visited some much larger cities I can't help but notice the lack of coffee … (0 comments)

For me, moving to Seattle from Southern California (San Diego via Orange county) in the fall of 1994 was a wild idea since I did not know a soul...but I had my reasons! 
Here is a quote that I found most interesting.
Bothell's Caffe Ladro, one of the locally-owned company's 10 area cafes, serves 100% fair trade, organic, shade grown coffee. But it's also some of the best tasting coffee I've come across. If you're a regular coffee drinker and flavor is important to you, visit a location near you and give it a … (2 comments)
This morning I treated myself. I met my friend Yuki at a new local hotspot, Rendezvous House of Coffee.
I love listing bungalows. The bungalow, in Portland, Oregon, is one of the most popular home styles that vintage home buyers will ask for me to look for. It is the home that you can imagine sipping your ice tea on the front (or back) porch during summer's warm afternoons. It is also the … (4 comments)
I'll be at NAR this year which is uncommon - I typically frequent technical trade shows, not places where actual business people must make real livings. ;-) We have other business units in Technology, Public Relations, Venture Capital, and Automotive (CES, my favorite), and of course Real Estate, so my schedule is … (13 comments)
A common question from home stagers is why real estate agents fail to see the value in our services.For me, the answer is easy – we are a new industry and we can’t expect to change the world overnight.Take instant coffee for example, I once read an article outlining the … (4 comments)
