When I was deciding if I wanted to pursue a communications minor, I spent a lot of time thinking about how I could incorporate that with a biology degree. I needed to talk about it with someone who had some experience in the field, so naturally, I went to my RA who, conveniently, is a journalism major. Thanks to Olivia, I am now a communications minor and am now sharing about her favorite coffee shop to share with you guys.

My awesome RA was telling me about this local coffee shop in her Ohio hometown of Harrison called The Coffee Peddlar. It’s in downtown Harrison and has a really cute storefront. It is a community-oriented coffee shop where the baristas know who you are and what you what to drink. I’m also told that it has some inspirational quotes and interesting drawings on its chalkboard.

“It’s a fun place to hang out,” said Olivia. “I would meet my friends there and we would study there, or we would grab something to drink and just talk. My favorite thing to order there is the frozen hot chocolate, even if it cost me $5 for a cup.”

The Coffee Peddlar doesn’t just specialize in coffee, but also hosts local art shows and will occasionally have a live musician. Olivia also tells me that the coffee shop celebrates “national pajama day,” when everyone who wears their pajamas to the coffee house will get a free cup of coffee.

Thanks, Olivia, for sharing your favorite coffee shop with me even though you don’t drink coffee! If you have a secret coffee house that you like to go to, tell me all about it! Tell me what your favorite drink is and where to find it too. Also, a little thought for fun, if someone narrated your life, who would you want to narrate it? Until next time… Keep it kinda classy!
