Attend the ‘Detention Hour,’ for happy hour specials throughout the week. Pull up a table and order drinks such as a pour over, cappuccino, latte, and espresso. There are freshly baked goods available as well; the pumpkin espresso cupcake is a favorite among locals. The tabletops are made of chalkboard and each table is accompanied with a cup full of white chalk. So, feel free to doodle while you’re waiting for your drink to be made. Or, play a quick game of tic-tac-toe. Be on the lookout for occasional latte art contests. The Principal’s Office is so fantastic that you’ll be looking for ways to get into trouble.

Jives Coffee Lounge

In addition the delicious hot beverages you can enjoy, coffee shops are known for their incredible ambiance; music is a huge part of this. However, rather than listening to folk tunes over speakers, you can enjoy a live performance from local talent here. If you’re brave enough, you can hop on stage yourself; Jives boasts of a very encouraging environment. Even the baristas double as musicians! When they aren’t on stage performing, they’re making delectable drinks, such as the hot spicy mocha, caramel delight, chai latte, café Americano, and more. There are even smoothies on the menu.
