With winter rearing its ugly head once again, you’re probably looking for something to warm up your frost bitten fingers.  Cafe Lumos is such a place.

 

As a relatively new business, I could tell they still had a few kinks to work out: their cash register kept breaking down, but all in all it’s a pretty good place to sit down and warm up during the dreary winter months.

 

Despite being new to the business, they make sandwiches like seasoned professionals.

 

The fresh sandwiches were reminiscent of a summer afternoon, a plus with less than stellar weather outside.  I ordered the turkey and pepper-jack sandwich, and received a fresh, slightly more glamorous version of a Panera standby.

 

If the sandwiches reminded me of a sunny afternoon, my vanilla latte made me grateful for the chilly weather.  While my drink won’t win any awards any time soon, it still did the job of warming me up and keeping me up for a few more hours.

 

What I liked the most about their coffee is the concept behind the brew. Cafe Lumos is an equal exchange coffee house so costumers can drink their coffee (or tea) satisfied that the people that harvested the coffee beans were paid a fair wage for the job.
