We are off this morning to find a walk by the river that honours the haiku poet Basho. On the way we stopped for a coffee at Blue Bottle coffee, a local coffee roastery and shop. It checks all the boxes for hipness – industrial space. Uber-cool young people. Dave Brubeck on the playlist.

Shared tables.

Serious young people in serious lab coats seriously brewing coffee.

And one dude of a certain age enjoying a very good cup of coffee. I’d show you the delicious strawberry tart but we demolished it too quickly.

Is $25.00 for two coffees and a tart a lot? I don’t even know any more.
Refreshed, we are heading for the poetry walk.
