Ban Bossy Boutique
A bright cafe three stories up with wonderful hot chocolate and photogenic decorations.
Ban Bossy is a moderately large cafe that is bright and spacious. The floor to ceiling windows and location on the third floor allow for an abundance of natural light that would make for a great place to read.
There is a lot of seating in the space including tables, a couch, and bean bag chair outside. The tables are particularly attractive with the tops made out of sage, grey, and brown colored granite-like material. The chairs on the balcony look like they would be a great place to relax during the summer months.
There are plenty of photogenic decorations scattered around the cafe. In one corner there is a vending machine selling leggings. In the opposite corner, there is a small booth to take photos in that says, "I'm not bossy. I am the boss." No matter where you are in the space, it is easy to get the cafe's nice sign in your photos.
We ordered a banana latte, hot chocolate, and two macaroons. The hot chocolate was the highlight of our order. So much so that I felt as though I could drink a gallon of the stuff. It came in a tall matt black mug. The banana latte was a big disappointment. I had high hopes when it came out in an adorable little teacup but it tasted off and I wouldn't recommend ordering it. As for the macaroons, I never really order them but I found them to be enjoyable.
The look of "I ordered the wrong drink."
During the hour or so of our visit, there was only one other patron so if you are looking for something a bit less crowded than normal this might be a good option.
So, you have decided to make the jump and commit to a long distance hike. This is going to be an experience to remember for life and its only natural to want to capture it in some way. Some like to write, others paint, many love videos, but I love photos and I imagine you do too. Photos capture moments in a way that no other medium can. Nothing else can capture a moment so quickly, in such detail, and be able to hang it on a wall. What to take though? There are a dizzying number of options in regards to not only cameras but lenses and accessories. I hope I can help you get a better idea of what would do well for you.
