Monday and a Kiss

Monday gets a bad reputation. Not only is it a common cultural practice to discriminate against Monday, our country's calendar places Monday as the second day of the week instead of the first (done by Christian, Hebrew, and Islamic religions). But to me, Monday means cafe time! After low-grade coffee on Sunday, you will find me Monday at River Street Music and Cafe (riverstreetmusicandcafe.com).

Have I told you how much I love my local cafe? Jaime, the owner of River Street Music and Cafe, runs both the cafe and music store, as well as plays gigs as a musician. There are a couple other people who rotate shifts, equally as friendly. Located in downtown Lapeer, the business is very spacious; there are several tables, the bar area, and five couches if you feel like crashing. Every Friday night live music is played, ranging in a variety of genres. All around, the cafe is a cozy place.

So here I sit, at the counter, enjoying a Kiss.
It isn't as misleading as it sounds: each hand crafted food and drink choice is named based off the cafe's music theme. The espresso-based beverages are named after rock bands, i.e., the Kiss. My favorite drink ~ the Kiss ~ consists of chocolate, milk, espresso. I get it blended like a smoothie, minus the whipped cream. It is so delicious! If you are ever in the Lapeer area, I would recommend you come here. You'll probably find me inside, enjoying my Kiss. Especially on a Monday.
