Wanna take this outside?

Ordinarily this would be a nice question for a holiday weekend, but since the East Coast has been looking like the lead-in to Noah’s Ark Part Deux, perhaps its not such a great idea.

In any case, our suggestions for this week are great venues for enjoying your books al fresco. We can only hope that the weather will cooperate.

Echo Coffee, in Scottsdale, Arizona is an outdoor café and a local favorite. Not only is it a warm and inviting space it also offers delicious food. Try their unique take on grilled cheese with a hazelnut macchiato and head outdoors to enjoy the weather.

This week’s Reader’s Choice is Blue Parrot Café in Saint George Island, Florida.  It’s an ocean front café with amazing views of the water. After sipping on an iced coffee, we suggest you put down that beach read and (weather permitting!) actually head to the beach.
