Surrounded by pictures of Barbies and Skeletons on Oak Street


There is nothing better in the world than the smell of hot coffee, so today I decided to immerse myself in that essence while studying. I headed to a coffee shop on Oak Street named Zotz. Since the moment you walk in, there are only brown walls decorated with all kinds of pictures from skeletons to Barbies showing their breasts; the smell of coffee filled the air, so it was just what I was looking for. While I was working, whenever I looked to the sides or the front of the room, I found a different craft, sticker or book. There was also a soft soundtrack playing in the back that mixed with the sound produced by the keyboards of people using their computers and the noise of the plates being washed in the kitchen. When I went, it was packed, but I luckily found a good spot on a large old couch. Everything about that place was corky and rustic. I was pulled to it because its amalgamation of sounds and smells, but when I asked my friend why she hanged out here, she answered it was not like Starbucks or any coffee shop; it was quaint and calm.
