Rec | BEING A REGULAR

🪟

seeing the same familiar faces each week, and saying hello to other locals. watching the going ons around you––knowing whats typical, and whats not. monotony is derided often, but it can be a real balm on a tumultuous life. bonus: free drinks from time to time!!

“Can I grab the usual” and the staff knowing your coffee order is always such a rush 🥹🫶🏼🙂‍↕️

I used to frequent a cafe in the morning before work and at a certain point you start to remember what the other regulars are ordering too. A

This made me tear up thinking about the establishment I used to be a regular at before I moved. I miss my balm🥲

I did this and made the mistake of going out with my barista…. now it’s a teeny bit awkward every time I go in RIP

being a regular

used to find the prospect of everyone knowing you by name (and by order) humiliating, but after doing my time in the service industry i’ve come to find the idea of regulars really precious… i love being a routine part of people’s week 🫂 giving to small businesses on a regular basis is super rewarding ! you get to participate and invest in your local community - and it will usually invest itself in you one way or another :)

being a regular

i used to think being a regular was lame! but being a regular is awesome! i’ve been a regular at this coffee shop by my apartment for so long that “my baristas” are now just “my friends” :)

being a regular

It doesn't matter where— coffee shop, bar, laundromat, indian restaurant… nothing more powerful than familiarity & friendship with the folks who keep your life going

something about so viscerally experiencing the reckless, earnest attempt from a friend at something unfamiliar is fun for me. i think i am maybe too okay with almost being in crashes tho

fruit flavoured lemonade

my favourite!! you can get it at any hipster-ish café, or you can make it yourself if you're willing to drop the change to get the syrups yourself. i've tried raspberry and lavender, and they're both great <3 prefer the lavender
