Coffee & Cafes

Hibbert Davis name has been removed. A flash back in time the name is now Peggy Ann. So many changes, I stopped going in. I’m guessing coffee is still a buck, but can’t advise. update info 06/20/2009

Crawled out of bed this Saturday around 10:00 am, and cruised over by the Habitat store to drop off of a few unneeded items. I wandered into Hibbert Davis around 11:45 AM, and found my way up to the counter for a coffee mug. Had to settle for a paper-cup to go style instead. The house blend was empty, so I was offered an Americano instead, and thought the upgrade was a great deal. As 12 noon came about, I soon realized the place was getting ready for closing time. I have always thought coffee was not only a morning drink, but a anytime drink. Hibbert Davis, has the best price around the Tri-cities for a cup of java, but as this location keeps changing ownership, I also feel the yo-yo effect of it’s operating hours.

Made it by Citi Expresso Caffe after catching a movie with the wife tonight. This place caught my eye yesterday in the Kingsport Times News. There is a drive up window on either side of the structure, which is most cool. While I waited my turn to order, I had the pleasure to sample both a small shot of caramel silk frappe, as well as a shot of mint mocha frappe. I’m not so keen on the flavor caramel, but I got to say it was very good.  I ended up with a 16 once red eye, and made my way back to the house. I hope this spot is here to stay.

A Starbucks is being built at The Reedy Creek Terrace development just west of Eastman Road, between the Golden Corral and Palace Vending. I have been told that there is also a Starbucks at the Stone Drive Kingsport Pavilion, located at 2626 E. Stone Drive next to Target.
