Explaining the odd name of this blog. We live at Toad Hall. We drink coffee, nay, love it. So in a way … I know, you get it. So….. coffee….
Yesterday, I awakened despondent and wordless. (mainly vacation-needy) I know some writers make best-selling novels out of the bleak and pathetic. I only manage to stare out the window. When I mentioned to Denis that all I wanted in LIFE was a cappuccino from Kopplin’s, he said, go, even though it’s in St. Paul – 90 minutes from where we live.
In the warm wool of a coat found at the thrift store, in the white feather-fern across the surface of my coffee, to the sound of leaves kicking along the avenue, and from the blue Mississippi lined with golden trees beneath the arches of the 35th street bridge, I detect beams of Sabbath. Which I seem to need more of these days. Leisure is a necessity.
If Denis had not given me the gift of insisting I go, I wouldn’t be reminded of why I think Kopplin’s makes the best coffee anywhere. I love him. Denis.

We found this place just yesterday! I had no idea anyone could make those fun little pictures in every cappuccino they make. :)
as a fellow coffee lover i have to say, that's definitely a flat-white (nz style), not really a cappucino, which has the 'cap' of milk foam on top extending above the cup rim - not that it matters much, they look like they definitely know how to make a good coffee! :-)
