The Stopover...........

Nestled almost hidden on a side street
Off the main drag in my adopted town
A coffee shop lay in wait for those unaware
Somehow to be found
For there is no glitz or glam attached
No bells or whistles too
Just a simple coffee shop
Where word of mouth is true
The ribs of an old building
Hold the roof up high
The counter way too simple
Exposing what to buy
Eight seats no more
I'd guess is what's inside
Then it's standing room only
Almost thigh to thigh
The locals are stamped on tabs
All across the wall
An easy reference point
For the owners to recall
The people are amazing
Always welcoming and nice
Their coffee is insane
Their Jewel to entice
Their customers come and go
As soon as the door's ajar
All people from all walks of life
From near and afar
Joggers , cyclists , walkers
Drifters and travellers too
Even the odd surfer
When their is no surf to do
Outside you can sit
And share the morning sun
A little patio area
Where breakfast can be fun
They have an avocado smash
Which is simply Devine
An awesome start to the day
It has an individual design
But it's the people and the service
That brings you back for more
The " Woodmans Axe " coffee shop
And it's incr..edible revolving door ......
