I love Ziggi's. I think they should make a bumper sticker that reflects my feelings.
I went in the other day to get some tasty chai and to work on some editing. My drink that day was FREE because I always keep my little punch card in my wallet. I think it's the only place I've ever gotten good use out of one of those things.
It's a great place to go and chill out while still amongst the buzz of downtown. They have the best couches ever, and seating indoors and out.
When I got there it was just when the after school crowd was gathering. Lots of little matching children running around drinking their shakes and eating gelato...texting some girl on a scooter.
It's more than coffee at Ziggi's...they have cookies, breads, gluten-free treats, gelato, Krispy Kreme donuts, sandwiches, salads, Breggos (they are like...breakfast hot pockets, give them a try!), and then there's coffee too. I don't generally drink coffee myself but I go for the chai usually and I once got an Almond Joy that was pretty super. Coconuty, chocolatey, where can it go wrong?
Mom and I also love the Italian sodas.
(I would like to know if they use compostable cups? Do they pick through and recycle? What do you do with all the stuff?? All I know is that I always throw my cups in the same trash can that everything else goes in to...)
Find your closest Ziggi's (now at 4 locations in Longmont) and skip the Starbucks. Support your local coffee folk. It's cheaper for you and better for your community!
There are 2 (almost...) drive-thru locations located on 17th and Hover, and soon on S. Main (MY neighborhood! YEAH! Also...oh no! Maybe I should apply for a job there? Feed the habit?)
And two sit-in (?) locations on 4th & Main, and on Francis, a couple blocks north of 9th. The 4th & Main location is open a little later than the others. It's the daddy Ziggi's...the only one I've ever been to actually.
They also have live music at the Main St. location:
Bluegrass: Every Monday from 7-9:30pm
Jazz: Every 2nd & 4th Wednesday from 7-9:30pm
Ziggi and I used to be a little closer. We saw each other on weekends and enjoyed iced beverages in the summer. Those were the days. I still very much love you but my homemade chai is much easier on the budget. But when I want to get out and about, have a treat, and watch the day go by on Main St. I come running back to your welcoming doors.
Check out their website for specials, events, and yummy treats and whatnot!
