Strong. Hot. Full of Cream.
Wouldn't that be great if you could buy a t-shirt that says Strong. Hot. Full of Cream. Well... Good news, I know where you can! Vera's Cafe is the quintessential gay coffee house here in Minneapolis. Some of you may remember the days of Cafe Wyrd & Cafe Zev... that was then, Vera's is now!
Jayson wanted somewhere to go late on Saturday morning to have a cup of coffee and study for his upcoming finals. I gladly said that I would accompany him. Coffee shops conjure up memories of when we first started dating 6+ years ago (for the straights reading that's like 25 in gay years!) We would go to coffee shops 5 nights a week (of course he was also 19.) Over the years I've never lost that coffee shop craving I got in college. And by looking around at the clientele at Vera's, neither have many other Minneapolites. All ages, all genders and all sexual persuasions are represented in the diverse clientele. All searching for that one thing in life, good camaraderie and a good cup of coffee that's Strong, Hot & Full of Cream!
Lavender Magazine just featured Vera's in their latest issue in an article titled Urban Coffee Shops. Check it out here http://www.lavendermagazine.com/artman/publish/article_1760.php for other coffee shop suggestions. I have one suggestion for you Lavender. You forgot one very important neighborhood hangout, Steamworks Coffee & Tea Co. in the Camden neighborhood of Minneapolis. What other coffee shop can you go get your picture taken with Santa?
love, the hyper caffeinated homo tim
