Year Two Day One Hundred And Five - Ashanti

Dear all, 

Today, after a glorious morning run, I met with the beautiful Karla in our newest, coolest spot in town, Ashanti Coffee http://ashanticoffee.com/index.html .

I am habitually hot on the case on the sniff of any new coffee house but due to my exponentially increasing course work load, I hadn't had the chance to check it out yet *disaster*. 

 We met early morning and I was greeted by a very welcoming porch and lovely display including a small chalk board with a very teasers as to what was on offer inside.

They had a fabulous range of food and drinks and everything was displayed beautifully. The sandwiches and wraps caught my eye with a note-to-self to bring D here for brunch one morning. 

They import coffee direct from Africa and I was excited to try a cup; they have been successful already at their cafe in Thornbury. 

The one thing that struck me in Ashanti was the space! They have oodles of table, all with lovely comfy chairs and room for newspapers.. food.. or whatever you want really. There is space, but it still maintains a very comfortable and intimate feel. A big chance from Starbucks and a welcome one at that. 

Me and Karla had a gorgeous post-run morning,  sipping our delectable coffees and catching up on the events of the week. I would highly recommend Ashanti to any CWood locals, don't be deterred by the slightly bizarre location ( on the highway), this coffee house is a winner!
