Most people will find a place to go to distract themselves from reality for just a little while, some create memories in those places along the way. My friends and I are not different, we chose a very particular place in the Downtown area of Salt Lake City. It has been our “gossip spot” and our regular visits makes the week better. The little 2 floor square building in the corner of 600 South and West temple is not your typical coffeehouse. The entire block is a parking lot and at first glance it seems as if it is the office for the lot. It is only until you get close enough to see the sign that reads “Rawbean-Coffeehouse” when you realized you have arrived.We came across it by accident, we needed a place to hide after sneaking out of class during our High School years.
Due to the heavy traffic and the location it is easy to assume how chaotic it may become during the morning as everyone is rushing to work and grabbing their morning espresso, Yet it is the quietest as no one seems to have time to go in, the place looks very small from the outside and it is. As you walk in you see 4 little tables squeezed in together with barely enough space to walk but it is never a problem. Not many people like to be inside a building with a very low ceiling and not many choose to. Their menu is extensive and like many other places they created their own coffee and fruit drinks. One wall is just dedicated to their coffee drinks and teas. Yet my usual order is between a Chai Tea or Green Tea with Coconut, It has been for the past four years. While their prices are lower than your standard Starbucks, their Biscottis take the winning price. There is different kinds of biscottis every week, the amount to take at your discretion and you are never allowed to leave without at least trying one. They are delicious and free, not something to resist. The employees have remained the same for so many years, it has made the place so much easier to frequent and very much likable. They are simple and yet unlike many places they don’t try too hard to fit in with a certain crowd, they are the kind of people everyone and anyone can relate too and keep a conversation without feeling intimidated. They know exactly what to say at the right time. While the employees make your visit pleasant on their side, the other tiny room is barely divided by a wall. On the right section there is only magazines and three tvs; they are creepy and there is always a fire on the screen, it is something you will have to stared at before going on to the second floor. The stairs on the right hand corner are hidden and for a good reason.
As you walk into the room on the second floor, the place looks impecable and completely different from the room
