Remember the 90s when coffee shops were all the rage (think Friends)-- and then they just kind of faded out? Starbucks ruined the scene, and it left us all longing for those hip caffeinated spaces again. A place that wasn't pretentious or run by a corporation -- where everyone could chill out, nosh and sip, or pick up something quick to get through their morning or mid afternoon slump. Well look no further. In Nazareth of all places. Bella Bean served me the best iced latte I've had in about 20 years. The owner is a talented whirlwind who also crafts her own soaps, candles, and lotion -- conveniently for sale in the shop. The business is very active in the community, participates in the local farmer's market on the weekends, has music in the evenings on some nights, boasts a lovely outdoor patio. I wish I lived closer.
