The fall temperatures are here in Bristow, VA.  Those grayish, overcast autumn days have arrived.  That crisp, cool air is refreshing to breath, but it can leave a chill down your spine.  That's when it's time to go to Caribou Coffee in Braemar Village Plaza in Bristow. 

Caribou Coffee has the feel of a log cabin with it's wood furnishings.  They have great coffee and a large variety of specialty drinks and coffees.

I've spent many hours in Caribou Coffee.  I've meet clients here. My fellow associate Matthew Durbin and I wrote our Listing and Buying Short Sales Class for the Prince William Association of Realtors® here.  And of course, I've met friends for coffee at Caribou.

Last time I wandered in to Caribou Coffee, I enjoyed a hot chocolate.  It was the middle of a cool autumn day, and coffee seemed the wrong idea.  I was completely happy with my "comfort" snack of a hot chocolate and dark chocoalte covered graham cracker.  And until that day, I had no dea that Caribou served milk, dark or white hot chocolate.  In fact,  you can have any combination of those flavors. 

Stop by Caribou Coffee in Braemar Village Plaza for your next hot drink and rest a spell, as my Mom would say.  It's a nice place to take a few moments to unwind.

I have lived in Gainesville for years now and never heard of Caribou Coffee.  It's always Starbucks that people talk about.  I like the look of this place much more than Starbucks, which always seems so crapped and unwelcoming.

Hi Chris Ann... I keep waiting for them to open one here in Dallas.  Until then I will stick with Starbucks!

Great hyper local post featuring this coffee shop, I think I enjoy posting  about local places and events more than real estate ;-)

Love the idea of coffee while sitting in a log cabin.  By the way I'm planning on coming to your short sale class.  I saw it on the PWAR list of courses and knew there was an instructor who knew what they were talking about when it comes to short sales.

Nina:  I went with boring old milk chocolate, but think next time I'll do a combo of milk and dark chocolates.

Ginny:  I'm sure they have a bunch of coffee specialities, but I rarely drink coffee.  When I did, I remember liking their Mint Condition.

Chris Ann- We have one here and it is one of my favorite places. Their caramel coffee is yummy and we often stop in for a cup after having dinner out as a special treat.

I have never been a coffee drinker, but I have been known to walk by a coffee shop a couple of times so that my olfactory senses could catch a whiff of the great smells emanating from therein.

Russel:  I used to work in an office building that had a Starbuck's in the lobby.  Loved walking into work.
