Great Escape: When You Just Need Coffee and Conversation

Parenting is a tough job. You deserve to take a breather every now and again. But what should you do with your downtime?

Each week, we bring you one great idea to de-stress. In doing so, we hope to make your life a little easier, maybe a whole lot easier.

This week, we love Dunedin mom Katherine Shirer’s for “me time” escapes. We also love for a place to gather with a small group of friends in need of a caffeine boost.

If you’re in need of a catch-up session with your gang, Cabana offers a relaxing atmosphere with light lunch fair (paninis, salads and soup), an array of hot and cold beverages (alcoholic and non) and most importantly, plenty of specialty coffee choices.

The café has plenty of outdoor and porch seating, and it’s conveniently situated just off Main Street on Douglas Avenue, near . It’s also dog and bicycle friendly. Oh, and it’s doubles as a cute gift shop (with lots of Day of the Dead items). You’ll be able to pick out a nice little gift for your child’s favorite auntie or uncle’s next birthday in one fell swoop.

Let us know if you go, and tell us what you think!
