I’m slowly getting used to how small the town I live in is. It’s taken me a while to adjust to the quietness and how everyone knows everything about you before you even have a chance to tell them. People I’ve never met already know my entire life story. That’s partly because my parents love to share everything about themselves and the people around them. They’re total gossip queens, but I love them regardless.
One of the things I do love about this town is the little coffee shop, the 2nd Street Cafe. It’s a cozy spot where you can sit, read a book, and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea. The owner, Megan, is this sweet girl about my age, and she and her employees—Katy and Cody—make all the food and cream cheese from scratch. They decorate the space with local artwork every month. It’s a quiet yet welcoming place where everyone knows each other and is super friendly. I’ve completely fallen in love with it.
Their sun-dried tomato bagels are the best you’ll ever have. I love going in just to chat with the staff. Megan’s son, Eli, is often running around, playing with toys, and greeting everyone, which is absolutely adorable. It’s like a little family-style coffee shop where you can be yourself and enjoy your day. It’s honestly become my place of sanity, especially since it’s the only place in town that doesn’t have a dead animal hanging on the wall. Plus, it feels like a little slice of the city hidden away in the countryside.
