Places to see, things to do - Stook (Good Coffee, Beer & Food)

avatar

Hi Hive!

When going out for lunch, I usually have a pretty long list of things to consider before choosing a place to eat.
The main thing is usually finding a way to entertain my very energetic almost three year old daughter for long enough to actually be able to sit down for a meal. It is a never ending struggle, as any parent will know. That brings me to the second most important thing...coffee! Life is too short to go somewhere if the coffee isn't decent. (Especially when you tend to have it black and without sugar.)

Stook, a local restaurant is definitely one of the best options as it has a very nice and safe outdoor play area for the kids. As an added bonus, it is set up so that you can sit outside and keep an eye on your little monster while eating. The coffee and food is also absolutely amazing, and surprisingly, not overpriced.

Speaking of good food, I have lately started ordering this salad (The Stook Vegan Foodie Salad) almost every time I go there, they have a pretty extensive menu...but this dish is just so good, I would rather have it than pizza! (and their pizza is seriously good) Definitely something I would recommend to anyone. Yum.

I am lucky enough to live in a very beautiful part of the country, so the view from my table is very pretty!

The Summer Ale doesn't isn't nice just because it shares my name! It is also very much worth a try and you will probably want a second one.

All of their pizzas are freshly made in the outdoor pizza oven, and as I said before, these pizzas are truly exceptional.

Art everywhere! This would make a pretty good background for posed photos too!

Everything inside the restaurant is train themed, which I like quite a lot.

It is also coffee themed, obviously! Coffee and trains might seem like a strange combination, but somehow, it works! I absolutely love the interior here and have many more photo in my archive.

There is even a little train thing outside, which is adorable.

All in all, Stook is definitely worth a visit!

Well...that's it!

Till next time!

That place looks super cool and that 'coffee and train' theme is neat!

While reading that 'Summer Ale' part I was like: I bet she likes that because of her name... before I finished reading the rest of the sentence. 🤠🏹

🤣Haha am I that obvious? 😋

It's a very nice place, I like being able to eat outside surrounded by the big trees, gives the place a nice atmosphere. The coffee is also awesome, they have a whole fancy setup there, lighting was too bad to get decent photos of that unfortunately.

I guess you are! If I had that name I probably would have made a similar remark while writing about it. 😅

Hard to beat good coffee by adding anything to it! I occasionally like putting some ice cream in mine (especially strawberry ice cream) but prefer it black... like my soul! That last bit is from a song lyric that I always think of when folks mention black coffee.

It would be a pretty strange name for a guy 🤣😋

Haha song lyric or not, it made me laugh! Which song is it? Not sure if I know it or not, hard to remember sometimes.

Can honestly say I've never tried ice cream in coffee, but strawberry flavoured coffee does sound like something to try at least once. ☕️👻🏹🐈‍⬛

Ha yeah that would be quite the guy's name!

It is from 'We Have Candy' by Die Antwoord. I think that it only gets said once at the beginning of the song.

Yeah, give the ice cream and coffee a try sometime. Technically I drink espresso by the cup but it is okay in regular coffee also. I like using just one small scoop that melts away into the yummiest froth ever... but occasionally I put in a larger amount and eat it as it melts. 🤠☕👻🐕‍🦺

I'll hop on Spotify and give it a listen. 😁

As luck would have it, I have a bigass tub of chocolate/vanilla/strawberry ice cream in the freezer right now, so I'm going to give it a try! Also gives me an idea for an Irish coffee/dom pedro hybrid thing... should be fun to experiment with. 👻👻🏹🔫
