Coffee is a huge part of my life, and you can often find me at Monomyth Coffee. They serve amazing coffee with a side of kindness, which is why they’re on my list. I’d bring anyone I care about here, so be sure to check them out this holiday season or grab a gift card for someone you love! If you’re there on a Saturday, don’t miss the toast with the best apricot jam I’ve ever had, topped with whipped ricotta. My go-to order is a caramel latte, but you really can’t go wrong with anything. I also love letting the baristas surprise me—they all rock!
