Beautiful Day Kafe

A very comfortable and cool place to work for a few hours on a hot afternoon, It's a Beautiful Day Kafe near here turns out to be a popular drive-through. In a former gas station, it also has a patio area with two big couches and lots of tables and chairs and a lovely breeze. There were some elderly people with the son of one them to help them in and out, who were enjoying a lively conversation in the couch area on one side. Nice little oasis. The owner and another woman who was there later are really nice and the whole experience is a lot better than Starbucks (no, I don't go to Starbucks, but pass it).

Beautiful Day has marvelous teas--the African Tropical and the Green Jasmine are divine. And, I tried an oatcake, hallmark of the islands (I think--they seem really big here). A quiet afternoon for a very tired lady--it seems that this is the hot season--blazing sun and no trade winds. Takes a lot out of a gal from Alaska! Thank goodness for the Beautiful Day Kafe! Otherwise, a droopy-gal day. Apparently this "kafe" is nicknamed "the Parachute" since the seating area is covered with a parachute! Wireless Internet connection, of course.
