Coffeehouses.

What is a coffeehouse? The name coffeehouse sets the tone to most. A place were one can sit and peacefully enjoy a cup of well-brewed coffee. One thinks of the smells that infiltrate your nose the moment one walks into the shop.
Most coffeehouses have a neutral color scheme-very earthy. There are also expectations of music at coffeehouses—peaceful and something that can stand in the background of conversions. Not all coffeehouses portray this sigma though.
A local coffeehouse in Racine, Mocha Lisa, is a former farmhouse turned into a coffeehouse about 6 years ago. The interior colors are not earthy, rather bright and artistic. The shop specializes in local artist’s work. Beautiful artwork sprays the walls; along with the usual coffeehouse mugs and pots one can buy. I particularly like this coffeehouse, because the baristas are friendly and are willing to joke around with the customers, but they realize when the customer is busy with work to leave them be.
The baristas make everyone feel as if they are a regular and help a new customer (or even a regular) make a wise decision when trying new drinks out.
While, Mocha Lisa recently went through a changing of hands, owners-wise. The new owner, Sue Brucker, kept the feel of the coffeehouse the same as the previous owner had set.
