I am a large fan of coffee. I love it just about anyway I can get it. I am also a fan of small businesses so every time I go to a Starbucks it makes me cringe. Living in Franklin, TN you find that there are VERY few independent coffee shops in the Cool Springs area so I was shocked and amazed when one opened up in the new Meridian area off Carothers. My company used to have an office right next to the new development so I was interested to go over and check it out.

I had a few hours to kill before an appointment so I decided to find some wifi. I decided that Panera didn’t sound very cozy so I headed over to the new Paccini’s Tazza d’Oro Caffe to give it a try. I ordered my usual, Americano with White Chocolate Syrup and no room, and sat down for a few hours of coding.

First off the real kicker are how comfortable is the seating? They had nice leather lounge chairs that were scattered throughout the front along with lines of tables in the back. I settled in to one of these lounge chairs and I was very impressed. There was a couple of power outlets and the internet was nice and free.

The coffee was great. It had a nice warm aroma to it that made it not too sweet and very smooth. It was bold but not bitter.

All in all it was a good atmosphere and I look forward to another trip and taste the drip coffee of the day.
