SUSANNAH FLAUTT PHOTOGRAPHY

If You Like Coffee...

Must visits!

Confession- I am obsessed with coffee shops. Like... obsessed! I can't get enough of them! It's not just the coffee either, it's the environment. Unrushed, inviting, creative and inspiring. Quiet and yet always in motion. Walking into a place like that makes me feel exuberant!

 I have had the privilege of going to a lot of coffee shops. Amazing ones at that! I wanted to share two of them with you. I actually discovered both of these fantastic places in the same 24hrs- I was elated! If you don't know about them or haven't gone- don't think, just go! :)


High Brow Brew.

Franklin, TN

This delight is in Westhaven area near Harris Teeter. It's wonderful! 

(If you want more info you can go to- http://highbrowbrew.com/  )

Barn wood, Galvanized metal, Edison Bulbs and Mason jar lights... need I say more?!

Plus this chandelier is just fantastic!

 They have a really creative menu and the two baristas I met while I was there were super sweet!

Checkout the handle!!!! :D 

They also have one with a cow handle!

Sugar and Molasses. 

Country chic decor.

What a JOY being spontaneous with my family and discovering spots like this!

(P.S. please forgive the photo quality of the above pictures. I had to get creative and use my phone for these.)

Barista Parlor

Nashville

I found out about this awesome place from my dear friend and "coffee buddy". I don't get up to Nashville that often but when the opportunity appeared I jumped at the chance to visit this coffee shop! 

(If you want more info you can go to- http://www.baristaparlor.com/  )

Vintage, Navy, reclaimed wood, Edison Bulbs, Urban, with a touch of "Happy Days" thrown in. All equals- spectacular! 

Oh yeah did I mention they keep the doors open on a nice day!

Crazy cool art.

Bright and industrial inside.

P.S. Who can spy a fellow photographer? With the extremely cool vintage camera!

They have 40's-ish music coming from these vintage speakers... it was amazing!

I think it's really neat that the coffee counter is positioned in the center of the room.

Props if someone can tell me the name of the coffee maker thing in the left side of this picture! Hannah and I couldn't remember. 

This is what you take to your table so they know where to bring your food. Fantastic, right!

Latte and waffles with strawberries and a bourbon maple syrup.

Plus this place has some amazing lights.

There is a huge book shelf with lots of little things they are selling including cups, coffee and imported chocolates.

"Dapper"

What a delight to finally get to experience this wonderful coffee shop and with this beautiful friend as well! Could not ask for a better coffee shop adventurer!

So my lovelies,
 If you ever find yourself in the Nashville/Franklin area and are in need of a stellar coffee shop, the Barista Parlor and High Brow Brew are where it's at!

I hope you enjoy them and are every bit as inspired by them as I am!

Happy coffee adventuring!

Fondly,
