| - Can you create affordable housing by buying books, drink some awesome espresso, and browse the web under the same roof? Yep, you can do all three at Julia's Coffee.
This charming place is attached to the Habitat for Humanity store (a nice place to 'dig' for deals, if you know what I mean) on Wendover Road. The coffeehouse is perhaps one of the coolest interiors; very vintage with a loft and many books. The staff are super friendly and they have a daily trivia question that, if answered correctly, gives you .10 off your purchase! Woo hoo!
I like the espresso drinks and the iced coffee. They use medium roast espresso, as well as daily coffee specials. Teas, muffins, bagels, and sandwiches are available, but I've never tried them.
The books are the selling point for me. Hardbacks (solid titles, not fluffy romances) are 4 for $12, plus you have the confidence that you're supporting the Habitat cause. Paperbacks go for $1. Imagine buying a paperback and a latte for less than $5! Certainly not at at Barnes and Noble!
Did I mention that they have FREE live music on the weekends? They have recently opened their doors till 9 PM on Fridays and Saturdays to accommodate more live music. Come and check it out!
