Since I work downtown now I’m checking out all sorts of places I’ve never really been to before one of which is Mrs. Potter’s Coffee. It’s a tiny little shop in the Mueller Building (also known as the downtown driver’s license building). I’m not embarrassed to tell you that I’ve been to Mrs. Potter’s more than a couple times since I started my new gig a couple weeks ago. They have all your standard coffee shop beverages (locally roasted coffee, all the espresso drinks you can shake a stick at, juices, teas, fruit smoothies) plus breakfast and lunch panini (is panini the plural of panini?), a few salads, fruit, yogurt and dessert. I’ve yet to try the desserts but they have some really delicious looking cakes. What I like about their cake selections is that you have the option to buy either a small or a large slice, instead of a one size fits all approach.
So far I’ve been mostly sticking with the mild coffee of the day but I have also had a really delicious vanilla latte (the best one I’ve had in a while in fact) and a banana smoothie. They have lots of other fruit choices and you can make up your own fruit combinations for smoothies. I found out today that next week Mrs. Potter’s Coffee will be celebrating their one year anniversary. You should stop in to wish them happy anniversary and buy a tasty beverage.

They’re also apparently very willing to be flexible! My sister said that the other day, she really needed coffee to wake up, but it was so hot that she really wanted something cold. So, they offered to make her a coffee milkshake!
They also delivered food a couple of miles out of downtown for a lunch meeting my office held.

Mrs. Potters is a welcome excuse to leave the office for ten minutes on long, sleepy afternoons. I work a couple of doors down from them–love the basic iced green tea. The staff there is wonderful–so nice and friendly.

From what I’ve heard, “panini” is the plural of “panino” in Italian. However, “panino” isn’t used in English for whatever reason.

I go there almost 3-4 mornings a week. The coffee is great and the girls that work there are very sweet. I’m not sure where they get their muffins from, but they are the best in town.

My husband LOOOOOVES Mrs. Potters. When he talks about it, it makes me wish I worked downtown!

The panini (breakfast and lunch) are huge, delicious, and reasonably priced – $5.95 for a panini and side green salad at lunch. The coffee is excellent and the staff friendly. What more can you ask for?
