But first, coffee.

Monday, Aug. 31, 2020, exploring popular coffee shops in Dallas, Texas.

When I moved to Dallas for SMU, my first adventure was finding cute & cozy coffee shops near me that I could use for study spots. Not only do I have a deep love for coffee, but I also like places with yummy snacks and of course they have to be aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

places to be

LaLaLand Kind Cafe ; FoxTrot ; Ascension Coffee ; Summer Moon ; Starbucks ; Houndstooth

The LaLaLand Kind Cafe aspires to make the world a better place by empowering their youth through employment and mentorship. I love the vibe of this location since my morals and goals are very similar in the aspects of inspiring others, and creating a platform that is a welcoming place for anyone and everyone to feel like they are unique and valued. My fashion sense and style also matches well with scenery and details of this aesthetic coffee shop, which I think helps showcase more of who I am beyond the photograph and location I picked.
