Skimos Coffee Shop

The located in the heart of Green Valley and serves up latin inspired drinks.I don’t hear a lot of buzz around Skimos but we finally made it out to the shop after having it on our list for months. When you enter the shop you’re greeted with a muted color palette of blacks and grays with a light wooden floor. The Skimo’s logo, which is very well done, backdrops the cafe nicely. A collection of black tables and chairs line the restaurant and we found our chairs really comfortable and nice to relax in. The coffee menu features Olympia Coffee out of Washington and has all of the typical coffee drinks along with a few specialty items. If you have never tried a spicy mexican mocha this is the place to try it! The food menu features assorted pastries and a collection of toasts, wraps, and bowls. I thought the prices on the food were very reasonable compared to some of the other coffee shops in town. It was nice to have a food menu that felt manageable in terms of size. On our visit we got the Elvis Toast which is a toast with peanut butter, banana, and bacon! The savoriness of the bacon really brought out the sweetness of the bananas and was wonderful. For coffee we got the hazelnut latte and a cappuccino. I really liked their cappuccino and found it to strike a great balance between milk and coffee. Baylee really liked the hazelnut latte and found the hazelnut flavor to be really powerful and delicious. One of my favorite parts about Skimos was the music as it brought me a sense of relaxation which I love with my morning cup of coffee. The vibe in the shop was very laid back and I think that makes it a great place to study, write, or get any work done. We recommend checking out Skimos if you are in the area. It’s also a female, minority owned business which we love to support. #christmasgiveaway #mapletrees #luxuryhotel #skiing #nationalpark
