Sky’s Coffee – Cambridge, OH


Right beside our main lunch spot, Theo’s, is a tiny coffee shop called Sky’s. Sky’s is no bigger than a large closet. It appears to be a repurposed display kiosk off the side of The Cambridge Performing Arts Centre called The Strand.

It's a little cramped for a good shot, but you get the idea.
Sky’s is probably my favorite coffee shop. They serve delicious homemade baked breakfast items such as scones and muffins and the best coffee around. Heather the owner and barista puts a great amount of though and dedication to her shop. The inside is very modern and colorful. The atmosphere is very welcoming and quite homey.

I have had several different coffees, but I prefer and highly recommend The Strand, a White Chocolate Mocha. The flavors are so perfectly balanced. You get a wonderful white chocolate flavor without dulling out the coffee flavor, and make sure to pick up a double chocolate chip muffin if they aren't all gone before you get there.

Breakfast (and lunch) from The Daily Grind - New Philly, OH


A quick breakfast while I work from The Daily Grind in downtown New Philly.

Orange Cranberry Scone and a White Chocolate Mocha. Very good way to start the day.

The Grind also has very good lunch options and are fairly quick to boot. They are maybe a tad bit expensive for coffee and food, but still cheaper and way better than a Starbucks.



Speaking of lunch, I had some today at The Grind. I got a Spicy Turkey with Roasted Red Pepper. This was a very good sandwich. The turkey was well seasoned and came with pepper jack and fetta. The fetta really topped off this sandwich. I think this small addition as well as proper seasoning really made me like this sandwich a lot more than what I was expecting. I have eaten several lunch items here now and they all seem to have an extra touch that make them more than just a standard deli sandwich.
