There’s nothing quite like a good cup of coffee to get the creative juices flowing. However, sipping on your coffee within the same four walls can get dull, fast. Why not take a bus to a new city, pack up your laptop, and change your environment? If you’re lucky enough to work remotely, this is a great time to explore a new place and discover some unique coffee shops along the way.
You’re one bus ride away from these awesome coffee shops!
