I did learn her name…as soon as I realized that I didn’t know it up until that point!

And yes, Christians are easy to spot at a coffee shop, usually by the huge Bible on the table. But since I usually read my Bible — and most other books — on my phone, I’d assume I’m a little more incognito.

You sound like you spend a good deal of time in the coffee shop yourself!

Comment on Why I breakfast at Starbucks by marla

Totally depends on my mood, their mood, the coffee shop’s mood. Most of the time I’m observing. Sometimes I get into deeper conversations than I want to. And of course there is the classic “Nodding acquaintance” for the regulars!
