Coffee on a rainy morning.

It was another grey and rainy morning. So we ran over to get some Sidewinder coffee before Genifer headed out to work…

And Sidewinder had new cinnamon rolls again

Those new cinnamon rolls are really good. Sidewinder is always a great way to start a morning, especially a really rainy one. πŸ˜€β˜•οΈβ€οΈ

Things are getting a bit better?

It was really nice this morning. Genifer and I drove over to get Sidewinder Coffee before she left for the office and before I headed upstairs to get to work.

And this morning, Sidewinder had new cinnamon rolls and I got the last one…

It was a really good cinnamon roll. Not as good as the original cinnamon twists that Sidewinder used to have. Those were some of the best cinnamon rolls I’ve ever had. But this one was pretty darn good. It reminded me a lot of the cinnamon muffin we shared at Overeasy in Dallas. πŸ˜€β˜•οΈβ€οΈ

But maybe, just maybe, this was a little sign that things are starting to return to normal just a little bit.

Guess who’s back?

Guess who’s back open after a brief COVID-19 hiatus? BIGGBY COFFEE! Genifer called Biggby and it turns out they reopened on Wednesday…

So this morning, we ran over to Madisonville to get some Biggby coffees…

We didn’t even need to look at the menu…

Genifer got a Caramel Marvel and I got the Cocoa Carmella with a bit of butterscotch…

Biggby Coffee is so delicious. We’re really happy that they’re back open. We haven’t had coffee from Biggby is almost a month. And that’s just too long. πŸ˜€β˜•οΈβ€οΈ

Coffee from Mad Llama.

Before I started working this morning, we ran over to get some drive-thru Friday morning coffee and hot chocolate from Mad Llama in Madisonville…

It was so good when we got Mad Llama on Wednesday

Genifer got a caramel latte with oat milk and I got a hot chocolate, of course…

Mad Llama makes some really delicious drinks. πŸ˜€πŸ¦™β˜•οΈβ€οΈ

Line to enter starts here.

We ran over to Trader Joe’s this morning. We were pretty surprised to see that they were limiting the number of customers to 30 people in the store at a time…

The line wasn’t very long. There were only three or four people ahead of us. Once we got into Trader Joe’s, it was pretty much like having the store to ourselves…

On the way home, we stopped to get coffee from Mad Llama, and we were back home in time for my first meeting of the morning. πŸ˜€πŸ›οΈβ˜•οΈβ€οΈ

Today was a good day.

We got coffee from Sidewinder this morning and they spelled my name with two D’s…

Grey gave us the afternoon off for Easter weekend. Thanks, Grey!

This afternoon, we ran over to Genifer’s office to pickup a laptop. And on the way home, we stopped to get Skyline carry-out for lunch…

Hello, delicious cheese coneys…

Ohmigosh. We haven’t had Skyline in forever! It was sooo good. And later this evening, we ran down the street to Northside Yacht Club

We picked up some Miller High Life’s and some of NSYC’s famous peanut tequila…

Cheers to the weekend! We wished we would have had the peanut butter tequila for last weekend’s Front Porch Pours. We just hung out, had some drinks and listened to music tonight. It was a good day. πŸ˜€β˜•οΈπŸ§€πŸŒ­πŸ»πŸŽΆπŸ€—β€οΈ

We survived another week of shelter-in-place. Four weeks down.

It was almost like being on vacation.

This morning we walked the four blocks to Sidewinder to get coffee…

Waking up early on a sunny, warm, beautiful morning and walking to get coffee, it felt like being on vacation. It was a wonderful way to start a Sunday at home. πŸ˜€β˜•οΈβ€οΈ

Morning coffee during a pandemic.

One by one, all of our favorite coffee shops have been closing until after the COVID-19 crisis begins to subside. Thankfully, our favorite Northside coffee shop, Sidewinder is still open for business for the time being.

This morning we went to get coffee from Sidewinder…

We got our coffees without any regerts…

We’re very happy and thankful that Sidewinder is still open.

I’m sure we’re not alone when we say we can’t wait for things to start to slowly return to normal. Whatever that new normal will be. πŸ˜€β˜•οΈβ€οΈ

But first coffee.

Thankfully, Biggby’s drive-thru is still open for the time being…

Would a weekend without delicious Biggby beverages even be a weekend? πŸ˜€β˜•οΈβ€οΈ

I’m sure COVID-19 keep us from getting our weekend morning coffee at some point.

Sunny Blu Coffeehouse.

A while back a little coffeehouse in Cincinnati’s Camp Washington neighborhood followed me on Instagram. I followed them back. And I’ve been admiring them ever since. The coffeehouse was called Sunny Blu Coffeehouse. And this morning, we finally drove around the corner to Camp Washington to see what they were all about…

Sunny Blu Coffeehouse is super cute on the inside…

Genifer ordered a cappuccino with a little caramel added to it. I pondered what I would get for literally one second before ordering the Hot Vanilla Chocolate. People love their coffee, I love hot chocolate.

Sunny Blu also had some terrific-looking sweets…

But I had to try their french toast breakfast sammich. And we got these Cold Brew Cocktails to try later…

Their french toast breakfast sammich was out-of-this-world good…

We really like Sunny Blu Coffeehouse…

And the best part is that Sunny Blu is located right on our way downtown. Camp Washington is conveniently located between Northside and Over-the-Rhine/Central Business District. It’s great to have another wonderful coffee that we can stop at on our way downtown in the morning. If we ever get to go back downtown again, that is.

I love Google Maps too…

And we love Sunny Blu. We can’t wait to come back. Very often. πŸ˜€πŸŒžπŸ”΅β˜•οΈβ€οΈ

Oh, and the cold brew cocktails were really good too. Strong. But really tasty.
