There’s no doubt about it. Coffee is an essential item to get through the day. It gets us going in the morning and keeps us going until the day is done. If you’re looking for alternatives to the usual coffee chains, here’s a caffeinated day trip in New Hampshire, specifically the Lakes Region that samples several of the area’s finest offerings (cofferings?).
This road trip visits six of the Lakes Region’s tastiest spots for coffee. It covers 96 miles and should take a little over two hours. This leaves plenty of time to enjoy each stop.
