2009 Independent coffee shop tour- Part 1

Well, it's March already (and I actually started doing this in January...but just now getting to the posting of pretty pictures). Anyhow......since I drink a lot of coffee, I decided to travel around the city to find the coziest, tastiest, and OK, loveliest, independent coffee shops (while scouting out a good location for the CFAC art sale).

We were at St. Honore yesterday. We go there all the time (it's just down the street from us) so it really shouldn't be part of the tour.....but the picture is pretty so I put it on here.

Lili Patisserie in Sellwood. Good Coffee and treats, but not a candidate for the art sale.

Baker and Spice in Hillsdale. The VERY best coffee cake out there.

Cafe Beignets in Lake Oswego. Cute little shop, but I really wish I didn't know about the beignets. I think about them all the time and....this shop is next door to Naomi's Lampshade shop (I have a weakness for lampshades, oh and beignets too).

This doesn't have anything to do with coffee, but here's a cute photo of Fenway in his Long Tongue Lampert pose:
