Getting some work done at The Brothers Thomas Bespoke Cafe ☕️before my networking meeting! This place is such a hidden gem in the Carillon area—it has a sophisticated, curated feel with a mix of modern comfort and warm, vintage-inspired decor. I'm currently fueled by a Dirty Chai, but if you're stopping by, their house-made Vanilla Lattes, Matcha, and Aged Bourbon Lattes are absolute fan favorites. It’s clearly a hub for local connection; they’ve got a "Mindful Chapters" women's book club (they're reading The Body Keeps the Score next!), a little free library for book swaps, and even a stage setup for live music. With all the new luxury apartments rising just outside the door, this spot is definitely becoming the heartbeat of the neighborhood. 🏢💜​ ​ ​
