If you're like me, coffee is a pretty important part of your day, especially while living in Minnesota! Coffee shops are great places for not only getting great cups of caffeine but perfect for studying, first dates, and catching up with friends. If you live in the Twin Cities, here is a list of some pretty great places to go for your coffee fix:

*Disclaimer: These are not listed in any particular order!

Anelace Coffee-

Location: Northeast Minneapolis, Minnesota

Anelace is a multi-roaster coffee shop. Delicious coffee, cool vibe, an amazing space, and wonderful baristas. A great place to go for those study sessions. Something special about Anelace is that they have seasonal menus so it forces you to switch up your "usual" and try something new, which always ends up being amazing!

Urban Bean Coffee-

Location: Minneapolis, Minnesota

Urban Bean Coffee has two locations in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Every time I go to Urban Bean I am presented with great service, and quality. Both locations have a wonderful atmosphere and are a great place to meet with friends at on the weekends or cram in that last minute study sesh. Plus, they even add a cute little animal cracker with your coffee!

Sometimes my brain just starts turning on an idea and it doesn't want to stop.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much.
