Hello Lovelies!
I hope everyone had a great weekend! Today I am excited to share with you a coffee shop that did more than bring two people together over coffee, but fall in love. Not me… maybe one day, but my lovely cousin met the love of her life sitting inside Copa Vida last year around this exact time. She loved the coffee and atmosphere of the shop, as do I. One day the love of her life happened to sit two seats over from her. My cousin was recently in town visiting from Nashville and we went to Copa Vida to have lunch; there she told me about a love story most believe to only exist in books. I was very excited to visit the place that helped create this fairytale love story and enjoy an amazing cup of coffee…food as well. The shop is pretty big with tons of seating along the window. High and low top tables to fit your every need of comfort. The one great thing I really liked about the coffee shop was that they offer a grab and go station from 7:30 a.m.- 10:00 a.m. Monday-Friday. You can bring your own cup for faster service and to save a little money! This is so perfect for busy work days when you just don’t have time to wait on that specialty latte.
Besides the wonderful coffees and teas Copa Vida offers, they also have a great selection of food! They have a wide variety of sandwiches, salads, and soups. Copa Vida’s grab and go options include: Matcha granola, Mocha cereal, and a delicious selection of pastries. All the baristas were so nice and friendly, helping me pick the perfect entrée for lunch! I decided on the kale salad and it was so light and flavorful. I also enjoyed a vanilla latte that was just the right amount of sweetness. Copa Vida makes their very own vanilla syrup too so it complements the coffee perfectly! Overall I really enjoyed this coffee shop and will become a frequent visitor after my experience. My lovely cousins story also makes it a little more magical. My cousin wrote Copa Vida a letter to express how much they impacted her life and I wanted to share with you a piece of it.
“We know your hope is to create a space that will cultivate relationships over a cup of coffee. So, we thought our story might encourage you and validate that you are indeed succeeding at creating that space.
One year ago, we met at the bar, sitting next to each other as complete strangers. Our dating relationship consisted of talking and growing together over many many many pour overs, cold brews, lattes, etc. Ten months later, we got engaged in that very same spot at Copa Vida & shared yet another special moment over coffee.” -Cailey & Cooper
I really hope you lovelies check out Copa Vida if you’re ever in the Valley… Hey you never know you could find the love of your life?!
Have a great day Lovelies!
