| - I finally made my visit to Bad Owl Coffee.
Bad Owl Coffee opened up not too terribly long ago in Henderson as a Harry Potter themed coffee shop. Naturally, I was intrigued.
There is a line. Hoo boy, there is a line. People love their Potter. But to their credit, they kept the line moving continually.
The place is decked out with all things Hogwarts (and a TARDIS, but I'm not one to complain. My British pop culture love has many facets), and it's done very well. The place does look nice. The references are both numerous and subtle (loved the owl cage), so whether you're a fan of Harry Potter or just coffee in general, it works both ways.
After hearing so much about it, I decided to try the Butterbrew latte, and it was really good, and went well with the chocolate pastry that I had.
We only stayed a little bit, as seating is limited, and we wanted to be fair to the still growing line of coffee hopefuls, so the missus and I ate our breakfast, and went on our way.
We plan on going back in the near future. It's in Henderson, so it's a bit of a drive for us, but I'd love to come back and check out the place without the crowds (if/when that eventually happens). I really enjoyed the coffee, the service, and the overall atmosphere. It's fandom tastefully done, and the nods make it a fun experience past your average coffee spot.
(I expect they will be nuts to visit when the next book and movie come out.)
