Warm Beverages
The temperatures are dropping and now is the perfect time to go find your perfect warm beverage. Nevada City & Grass Valley have lots of great coffee shops, cafes and places to grab hot drink. The Outside Inn did a fun post for National Coffee Day, but I thought it was time we gave a little love to hot chocolates, affogatos and mochas. The photographs above include hot chocolate from Carolines Coffee, Treats and Nevada City Chocolate Shoppe. Also showcased is an affogato from Treats, Peppermint Mocha from Carolines Coffee, Pumpkin Spice Latte from Summer Thymes, latte from Fable Coffee and a peppermint mocha from Carolines Coffee. Last week I did a fun giveaway on the Inn Town Campground’s blog and loved the personalized bag of coffee so much I got a few extra for gifts, but thought, why not have a little giveaway over here too? Below is a wood crate, two Outside Inn ceramic mugs and a special bag of Inn Town Campground coffee (from Carolines Coffee). The winner of the coffee and mugs will be announced on Monday, December 28th. If you’re a Carolines Coffee fan, check out their 12 Days of Christmas giveaways. And… in the spirit of giveaways, time is running out to post a comment on the huge end of the year giveaway, click here, to post a comment and be in the draw for the prize worth $2300. I have to say that I am so touched by all the comments so far, thank you to all the readers of this blog for taking time to play along.

Love, love, love Caroline’s coffee!
We love all things from Nevada City and Grass Valley
A warm coffee – especially with peppermint sounds great right now! Brrrr!
Sounds great…. I’d love a mocha!
Sounds good, I haven’t tried Caroline’s Coffee, I seem to be always drinking wine in Nevada City.
I love those mugs and would be happy to gift those to someone I know would love them too!
What’s not to enjoy about great coffee and cute mugs to put it in? Would love to win! Thank you for your generosity!
Affagatto! Yum!
Just wounderful! I’d love this set & the delicious coffee! Thanks for the chance to win watching the christmas card. Ft. Nevada city now!
Thanks Erin for your fantastic blog- helps me keep up with what’s going on. Much appreciated!
Loves me a good “cup O joe” when I take my old dog Jed for a walk… Well I guess I should say “drag”… He’s not as spry as he once was.. But a stron cup gives me the strength to get him home.
Definitely missing Caroline’s this time of year! Hoping to duck in there while I’m home for the holidays.
Are those mugs enamel?? I might just need to come get them!
Two things that make me happy….Outside inn and coffee! I love my Inn town campground mugs for camping now I NEED these for home sweet home!
Thank you for introducing me and my girlfriends to Caroline’s!
Oh so good!
I MUST have those beautiful Outside Inn Mugs to enjoy all my favorite hot beverages in and also as a beautiful reminder of everything good in Nevada County 🙂
love your blogs! Great ideas for places to go for great coffee!
Thanks again, Erin, for the way you bring out the best in our community!! Those coffee mugs are awesome, and coffee is my favorite way to relax any time of the day. Thanks to Caroline’s for providing it this time.
I had never heard of affogatos before. Now I have to have one! I think I’ll swing by Treats later today after I deliver the recording of the Sierra Master Chorale concert to KVMR.
They’re amazing… hope you made it in there.
I love warm beverages all year long. They lift my spirits.
Cheers!
Miss your smiling face, say hello to your mom for me please.
Great mugs and coffee. Like the wooden crate too
Carolines Coffee!
Wow, what a wonderful gift! And a special brand of coffee from Caroline’s? Extra special! 🙂
It’s the French Roast from Carolines, so it’s special because it has a fun custom label, but otherwise it’s not a special roast.
Yum! And those mugs are so cute!
I know where you can find them…..
yum yum fun fun! love the mugs!!
Looks great. And I’m actually up here in Nevada City this time!
I can give the coffee to my mom. But I could keep the mugs!
Cute gift! We’ll be there on the 28th!
