Coffee Is Favorite Drink in the Morning


If you are like me, the first taste of the morning will be a hot cup of coffee. I have been drinking coffee since I was sixteen years old. My parents would not let me take in much caffeine before then because they thought it might interfere with my growth. Coffee has been on my morning menu almost every day since!


There are as many brand names for coffee as there are types of coffee drinks. What I would like to do on this cafe blog is to explore coffee drinks as well as other drinks featured at specialty cafes and coffee shops. I am hoping to feature a coffee shop every month, so send in your entries to be chosen.

The Midnight Writer's Cafe will also offer some products through our partner programs. These links will be marked as affiliate tags or direct sales so our readers will know they are commercial links within our program or with our partner programs. If you know a source for a good coffee product, please send the link to themidnightwriter1@gmail.com and I will check it out.

Send in your candidates for the featured
coffee shop
for the month!

What We Need to Know:

1. The Name of the Coffee Shop/Cafe
2. Address, Phone Number, Email, Website
3. Owner's Name/Manager's Name
4. Tell us in your own words what is special about this cafe/coffee shop. Tell us about your favorite drink. Tell us how this cafe is special in your neighborhood.

Coffee With The Midnight Writer

Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen!

Welcome to the new cyber space where we can gather together to share our favorite poetry, or listen to a great concert or enjoy some coffee or tea while the local community hosts an event important to the local area.


This is a brand new site where we will have informal talks and enjoy a little sharing while telling our personal stories. The internet is a vast electronic sea filled with thousands of sites online that are clicked on and clicked off at such a rapid pace. Seldom does anyone stop for awhile to read a good book together, or play chess, or view a good theatrical performance together. Even more rare is the occasion to sit together and just talk.

Since I began my quest as a freelance writer I have spent months by my husbands side in coffee shops around the United States. I formed a very fond relationship with these public cafes and learned to really appreciate the fine service they provide to their communities. Cafes bring people together to share a light breakfast or brunch, some coffee or tea and conversation. Sometimes it is just about being in the presence of others while reading that favorite book on a Saturday afternoon, that helps to combat the loneliness and isolation people feel in a disconnected society.

Cafes or Coffee Shops, whichever you prefer to call them, are the community rooms of the 21st Century. Welcome to our little social place in the cyber sphere. Stop by for a warm cup of brew and share your story with us, or recite your favorite poem. We'll be waiting for you with a comfy chair and a friendly greeting.
