Around town with Jean: a mellow morning coffee at Odyssey

“A cold dank day in Ocean Grove.  Thought I’d head to Odyssey for a cup of brew.

“This coffee house is already morphing into a destination:  Cool music in the background, chatter from customers having their coffee, students reading…

“I was lucky to be sitting in the front window, by the door, watching the world go by.

“People coming and going greeting me with a smile, and then saying,  “Have a nice day” when they were leaving.

“How did I get so lucky?”

    Odyssey coffee is definitely a destination for me. Shanna is my daughter and Joey my son in law but putting that aside, the coffee is delicious!

    Every time I go I see someone I know or meet someone new. Hot coffee and a warm smile make a cold winter day so much more enjoyable.
