A cozy little nook on Charlotte Pike that is literally housed in a converted alley between buidings. Headquarters serves up coffee and espresso options for the West side, along with tasty treats that are from the prestigious Dozen Bakery in the Wedgewood Houston neighborhood.

Meet Jacob Marley at the Dickens of a Christmas celebration in Downtown Franklin, where he’ll be one of about 200 costumed characters roaming the historic district for a free yuletide festival. Favorite Dickens’ characters like Oliver Twist, Ebenezer Scrooge, and Tiny Tim will be there, along with Mother and Father Christmas. Carriage rides, Christmas carols, live entertainment, and shopping at the holiday arts and crafts bazaar will be fun for all. For sustenance, walk over to The Coffee House @ Second and Bridge.
