Cafe Culture

Chairs by the window

Flowers at the counter

We visited Cafe Culture last weekend and had a smoothie. It was comfortable; it felt and looked like a place people come to talk or work on projects. It looked like a multi-generational place–the kind of place you could sit and touch base with a kid in your life, or meet up with a group of moms, or get together to do a group project for a college class. A white board outside listed evening classes in poetry and belly dancing and also evening tutoring.
