The Two Happiest Places in Provo

This morning, I went to one of my favorite places, the Coffee Pod (and Simple Foods). I was initially attracted to this place for two reasons: the logo looks like the logo for a grocery chain in England and it's pretty much the only cafe-type place around. They have the best chamomile lemon tea there and while it's pricy for tea ($2.14 for a small? It's hot water and a teabag people!) so I don't go often, but I had some reading to do and I really wanted that tea so I forked out the $. I love this tea because it reminds me of the tea I would get at the Goethe Institut in Berlin during our breaks. They have happy couches and wifi. This is one of my hangouts.



My other favorite place is the Provo Library. It's the old Academy building, so it's got all this history. The actual library is attached to the back and the second story has some huge windows and chairs (they could be more comfortable, but they are comfortable enough). There is something so soothing about being at a library. It just smells like happiness and you can find whatever you are in the mood to find. If you are nostalgic, you can go to the juvenile section and read some of your favorite picture books, or if you want something new you can just look around or ask a librarian for their suggestions. I love this place!

  1. i love libraries too. i don't spend too much time in the school one because sometimes it can be crowded but since this is winter term and there's less people on campus i've been going more.
