We LOVED this Savannah coffee shop ...
Not only was the coffee REALLY good, but so was the ambiance - you know, the kind of coffee shop that just feels right - enticingly cozy and comfy and perfect to hang out in. I really loved it. And the cookies were also just right ...
The well-worn and mismatched furniture was awesome. Loved that too.
I could have stayed here all day - really! Sip a little coffee, savor a little cookie, and people watch. It doesn't take much to make me happy. ;-) BUT beautiful Savannah was waiting for us, so we vowed to come back to this coffee shop another time and we went on our merry little way. I thought I'd share a few of the pretty sights and blooms that we enjoyed while strolling the streets of downtown Savannah...
Sigh. I LOVE Savannah. I hope that you do too.
Well, what do you think? Should we go here next?
xo,
Kim
Oh how I long to see Savannah. And YES, we should go to the next stop. It looks so interesting. Can't wait to see it.
Blessings,
Patty

Kim,
You did it again!!! What pictures! It was so nice to recognize some places. Your photo of the Gastonian was beautiful. My husband and I stayed there for our 12th anniversary. It is wonderful. AND...I cannot believe where we are headed next. I was in that very same shop last Saturday. Can you believe it? We could have crossed paths and never even known it!
Posted by: Cindy | June 30, 2009 at 11:43 PM
Someday I'd like to sit on that pink bench & watch Savannah go by :-)

Oh well Kim, of course PARIS MARKET, I vote for that. However, I don't know if you are aware, but we have in So. FL a place that has the same ambiance (mis-matched furniture and wonderful people running it) Bizaare Ave Cafe & Bistro Bizaare | 921 Lake Ave | Lake Worth | FL | 33460 There Brie is well, come see. . . Their food is so good, I have become quite choosy about the places I go to eat now. Thank you for the mini-vacation. Blessings, Jan

Just looking at the first pic of Savannah I knew this was going to be a wonderful sight seeing stroll. So, I paused to grab a cup of Chai Tea with a little vanilla caramel cream in it. (Sigh) Savannah is absolutely stunning. . . .the homes and all the architectual detail. . . breathtaking!!! And the gardens are so beautiful with blooms. . . each picture is worth a second ,third, fourth look. Thanks for sharing.
Looking forward to seeing the Paris Market.

Kim,
I just returned from Savannah, was there Thursday through Sunday. I'm so glad to see the photos you have posted - I saw many of the same spots, but missed some photo ops. LOVED the geraniums and ivied steps! I hope to return some day to explore more, 'cause it was soooo hot and humid this trip.
Posted by: Peggy | July 01, 2009 at 10:56 AM
Wowee! I just love those homes and especially the greenery covered steps....they are to DIE for! So lush everything is there too! Thanks for sharing with us!
XOXO

Kim, this wonderful stroll was just what I needed. It was beautiful, the music was soothing, and I could feel the tension go out of my shoulders by just browsing your post.
Thank you.

The happiest I've ever been on a trip was in Savannah. I'm Dixie born and Yankee bred...I connect with Savannah and it's neighbor Tybee Island like nowhere else in the US. Thank you for this visit.

Love the whole Savannah thing. We were there last summer but with the heat I never made it to the Vintage General!!! Your post brings back so many memories and also reminds me of the movie "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil". Thanks for the memories!
Posted by: Jill | July 01, 2009 at 04:49 PM

Love the coffee shop. We were at a place called the Cinnamon Tea Room in Madison Indiana. Nothing matched and the food was fabulous! Not been able to read your blog daily (Dad w/ cancer) but will do better.
Thanks for sharing.

Oh my goodness, what a beautiful place! I'm adding Savannah to my Places to Visit List. I love that coffee shop ~ the best hing about it is that it ISN'T a Starbucks!!! It's a charming place with its own character!
Posted by: Rachel | July 01, 2009 at 06:08 PM
I had a picture of Savannah in my mind of lovely gardens, stately mansions, well-kept streets, cordiality and grace. How delightful to find that it's actually like that! What a lovely place to visit!

That was a wonderful litte tour of Savannah, that you it looks absolutely beautiful and charming there! I want to go sometime! It looks like a great place for a romantic getaway. What do you think it would be like there in Oct.? My husband and I want to plan a little 4 day getaway then. Take care, hugs!
Posted by: Debbie Vierkant | July 01, 2009 at 11:16 PM
Kim...OMG, your photos are simply gorgeous! Those 'painted ladies' are so elegant, but my favorite photo is the ivy-covered steps...how do they DO that?? In addition to your writing, I think you should consider photography....you're a natural. ~Sue~
