My parents have found a really neat coffee shop in Brookings, South Dakota. They not only serve good coffee and food but they’ve created a welcoming and fun ambiance with local art on the walls, live music and interesting books. (I stumbled across D.I.Y.: Design It Yourself there and any place that introduces me to an interesting book is a good place!)
The owner Jacob Limmer is featured in this video explaining why he didn’t like businesses – because he thought they exploited people – and how he’s gone about creating his own fun, very successful, not exploitative business.
Cottonwood Coffee is great. I love their dark roasts and the food is always great.
They are also quickly becoming the live music kings of the greater Brookings area. Gotta go check out the live music, they’ve had some killer acts in lately.
Jason,
I’ll have to check out the live music next time I’m out there.
BTW, you have taken some awesome photos!
