welcome coffee lovers- so glad you are here! welcome to the third stop on our simply grey coffee tour. i  am joining the incredible emily at ember grey 

for a tour of our favorite cafes and coffee shops. please join us on the
last friday of each month. our next one will take place on friday, may 29. we would love for you to link-up and share where you
decided to spend some quality time with a cup of joe. in case you
missed, french press morning {volume one} and french press morning {volume two}. today i am sharing photos from my very favorite coffee spot near greenville, south carolina called tandem creperie located in traveler’s rest, south carolina. {a few miles north of greenville} it was love at first sight when i first visited last november and is a place i try to visit every time i travel to greenville to visit my favorite hometown/carolina girl, renee. hope you enjoy the photos! and because i can’t withhold my excitement…can’t wait to meet and have dinner with one of my favorite blogging friends- stay tuned to see who mr. monaco and i are dining with tonight!
 beyond excited ♥ i adore her!

i adore the pops of yellow throughout. well really… all of the decor!
it’s just a beautiful place to spend a morning
such gorgeous and delicious lattes served and delivered perfectly 
i usually order the salted caramel latte with almond milk
and nothing says a wonderful setting like fresh flowers throughout the space!
the outdoor patio is also so adorable:
 so many cute details! and just my style ♥
we tried the blueberry dessert crepe and a salted caramel, pretzel, chocolate one- both awesome
i was with a birthday girl- we went big!
and let’s talk about the amazing tandem bike on the wall- perfect.
everyone is super friendly and helpful! 
and although i live pretty close- let’s just say that i wish i lived real close
for a lunch crepe- i highly recommend the fiesta! it’s the mexican version of a crepe and is fantastic
thank you so much for linking up with us! 
i love seeing where you love to enjoy a cup of coffee
again, our next link-up will be on friday, may 29 
a few i loved from their website:
snow in the carolinas is very rare so i thought this was such a lovely shot! 
 one beautiful, delicious, unique and special spot!
i enjoyed the company and experiences so much 
if you ever get a chance, i recommend going!!

    I was on Ember Grey reading her coffee tour post, so I clicked into yours, and then I recognized you from Instagram! I'm so excited to start following your blog. This place looks really nice! I love the light colors and flowers that they use for decoration. It seems like most coffee shops decorate with dark colors, so this place is pretty unique. Love the idea for this linkup, I have it marked in my calendar to join next time! 🙂

    I went to Furman for undergrad, and this makes me want to go back! I don't think Tandem was open then (I graduated in 2009), although there was a cute local coffee shop I enjoyed, even if I forget the name.

      Hi! I have heard such wonderful things about Furman! Maybe if you go back you can check out Tandem- I really think you will love it! ♥ Hope you're well and love your blog! Thanks for stopping in and have a great week!
