I don't even like coffee, and I'm still smitten by Verve Roasting Company. During the times I concede to study (erm, read Murakami novels), I camp out at the downtown Verve. Sometimes I feel like places are designed specifically for me. At Verve, where Edison bulbs hang like raindrops from the ceiling and air ferns are tucked in every nook and cranny, I fit right in.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFy0VBkJ9jymTvtju-oRi9Sj4cXLbC6DNcT8rcWuEvV9YHyeIMqfMb5NeS7gFukiIK88MYMtWQfcYO8s8HF6Ca1X-8Yn8cvOmb-U2JWK2UiR7lFnJPgqtlRKB3UksoDNur52aNqnOvoi4/s640/verve+coffee+seabright.JPG)
