I treated myself to a late but excellent breakfast at the Java Shop in Herkimer, NY. At least, it was late for me. I had been up since 5:30 (not an unusual time of rising for me), finished my article about the Herkimer Town Board meeting for the Daily Sentinel, and driven out to East Herkimer to take an appropriate picture. This brought me to almost 9 a.m. I decided to treat myself, put a little money into the local economy, and give myself something to blog about later. This is how I multi-task.
I did not take this picture till I left.
I ordered the Drink of the Week, which was Raspberry Cheesecake. I opted to have it as an iced coffee and, alas, forget what the other options were. Fine reporter I am! I had had two cups of regular coffee earlier, as I worked on my article but hoped the ice and extras would fool my stomach into thinking I had not had that much coffee after all. Dylan, the young man getting my drink, opined that you cannot have too much coffee. My brain and my soul agree, my stomach not so much. I also got an Everything Bagel with cream cheese.
As I sat I worked on a letter to a friend, trying to remember if it was The Java Shop or Shoppe. I always set the scene when I write a letter. I checked the sign as I left, also taking the picture, which I have neglected to do the last few times I have been at the Java Shop. My previous picture had some glare on it. I also noticed some outside seating. Nice!
A place to sit another day.
The Java Shop is located at 402 Mohawk St., Herkimer, NY. They are open Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. to 1 p. m.
