2026Nice to be Back
Today, I dropped in on Manic Coffee, a place I used to spend a lot of time thinking my thoughts and writing my blog. I hadn’t been there in ages, but being in the neighbourhood, I stopped by on a whim.
One coffee shop is pretty much the same as the next, right? Well, no. By the time I had finished my decaf cappuccino and hazelnut chocolate croissant, I was best friends with the staff behind the counter and leaving with the warmest, most familiar feeling about this place I had loved before. It struck me quite by surprise. I can’t put my finger on it, but it was just nice being there. It gave me the warm and fuzzies.
Manic, I missed you! Mwah!!

Nice to see you after so many years.

Thanks, Leann.

I know the feeling. I have been an infrequent and highly irregular customer at a local brewpub. I was surprised to be recognized and welcomed by the staff after an absence of more than a year.

I guess some people are just good at hospitality – or maybe you’re that memorable!
