Coffee Talk | Taylors Falls, MN
Now I know this is a stretch, not exactly the Twin Cities, I get it. But hear me out. Jake and I took a day trip down to Taylors Falls, Minnesota a few months back to hike along Interstate Park. When we woke up early that morning it was pouring outside; we were both pretty disappointed thinking that we might have reschedule our mini vacation. But it cleared up slightly and we decided to give it a go anyways, after all it was only about 45 minutes away. When we arrived it was still raining so we decided to pull over; we saw people continuously going in and out of this house and finally we realized that this house was in fact a coffee shop. Unintentionally the title of my blog… yes, the coffee shop is called Coffee Talk. Little did we know this revamped home would be our cozy safe place until it stopped raining an hour later.
When we walked into the shop honestly it wasn’t anything too eye catching or really unique.. just your average coffee shop. But after we ordered our drinks and realized that there was nowhere to sit, we awkwardly stood around for a while until we saw there was seating upstairs as well. The upstairs had a very woodsy vibe, which went well with their location. When we sat down there was a group of six or seven teenagers studying for a Chemistry exam. It made me thankful that I wouldn’t have to go to school the next day like they would. Jake and I sat around the corner from them and enjoyed each others company while sitting at what looked like a hand made wooden counter and matching stools.
This place too, had a private house blend of chai but I remember it being creamy and delicious (and very hot, I burnt my tongue). Jake, on the other hand got his usual coffee, black. As far as food goes, they had your usual pastries but at the time were not serving soups or sandwiches.
