Forever Friends Coffee Shop in Rupert, Idaho

I can think of no better place to slap a few dollars down for a quick coffee or a delicious milkshake than Forever friends, located in Rupert, just off the Town Square (just down from US Bank-just look for the blue canopy overhang). The service is friendly, the menu options are vast and surprising, and the cost? Cheap enough where you can visit daily and not break the bank, and just pricey enough to know you are getting your dollar's worth.

Straight off the bat when you walk into the cozy, bright atmosphere of Forever Friends you feel like you could stay awhile and not have to rush out. The place is TINY y'all-so be prepared. The entire coffee shop is the size of a large living room, including the counter and back area space. There are about 4 or 5 tables, all inviting and waiting for you to take a seat, and each table has a puzzle on it-one of those curios pieces of metal or wood structures that one is supposed to figure out how to take apart, or a hand-held video game to entertain oneself while they are waiting for their order to be whipped up. Of course, the requisite newspaper is always available, long with a few magazines, usually stacked up near the window but often scattered about a table, randomly and oddly adding to the welcome feel of the place left behind by a recent patron. It only adds to FF's charm.

The place is indeed charming-white crisp walls adorned with local crafts and art for sale (along with the odds and ends in coffee supplies, such as tea strainers, a FF t-shirt, chocolate covered coffee beans etc.) adding colour to the mix. On a white board near the counter, the flavour of the day is boldly posted in bright colours, alongside a hand-written "deep thinker" of the day, one of those thought puzzles than you can ponder over while you're leaning over the counter.
