You guys know how we are always searching for new locally owned places to patronize. I hate that word, but editor Nanny loves it, so…

I can’t believe it took us so long to discover this spot. Probably the fact that I’ve never been a fan of coffee had a lot to do with that. You’re going to be so proud of me. I am now an Iced Mocha Latte (with almond milk) drinker! The first few times I tried it, I felt a little “buzzed,” for lack of a better word. If I’m being honest, it freaked me out a little and I almost low-key panicked when I got home. Now that I am aware of what Espresso is (does), I fully embrace the “high!”

Cohesive is so much more than coffee.

For over five years, Cohesive Coffee has been serving up tasty treats for the Greenville community. Their belief is displayed on the wall…”Every drink is a work of art.” Literally, that’s what you’ll find in this unique corner shop at The Junction at Downtown Airport.  

Atmosphere is everything and Cohesive Coffee has it all. With indoor and outdoor space, “Everyone has a seat at the table” (another wall hanging). Josh and staff brew specialty coffees and teas, just the way you like ‘em. For any coffee naturalist, who prefers their coffee without all the extra stuff, Cohesive drips the best black coffee on the east coast (according to coffee aficionado, Nanny).

Seasonal specials are popular additions throughout the year. There’s even hot chocolate for kiddos to enjoy while parents sip cappuccinos and lattes. Dear parents, there’s a changing table in the exceptionally clean restroom!  

Tables with charging stations make perfect work spaces. Looking for a spot to meet friends and chill? Cohesive has a seating area with comfy chairs and games. Or, grab a book off the shelf and read. 

Sundays, at 5:00pm, The Gathering Place Church meets at Cohesive Coffee. This cozy cafe can meet any need you have. Contact them for your next party, shower, or work event!

On an even more personal note…

Josh and Blake continue to go out of their way to support JP and his paintings. In the next week or so, he will begin working on large canvases for the shop to display on their wall. If I let myself, I could ugly cry. Watching people support your child does something to the inside of your soul.

This is the part of the post where I urge you to drop in, not just for JP, but to support this new family of ours. They work hard, give back to the community, and truly deserve your business!

JP has been out to see his display twice. The first time, he couldn’t even look at it. He sat at the table with his back to the wall. He is so proud of himself, but definitely cannot handle the attention!

Drop in sooner rather than later, and tell them JP sent you!
