There’s a little boy named Benny who has quietly become one of my favorite parts of Monday mornings.
Every week, he walks into The Daily Boss and orders a lavender steamer.
Lavender. Of all the flavors a 6 or 7-year-old could choose. I remember the first time he ordered it, thinking this little gentleman has some seriously exquisite taste.
He’s become one of our Monday regulars, usually beating everyone else through the door. And lately, we’ve started letting him in on a little of the magic, teaching him how to steam the milk for his own drink.
I love that he wants to learn. I love that he has his own little ritual. And I especially love that somehow, without even knowing it, he’s become part of mine.
It’s funny how you can build an entire coffee shop hoping to create something meaningful, only to discover that some of the most meaningful moments come in the smallest packages.
Here’s to Benny, lavender steamers, and Monday mornings I wouldn’t trade for anything.
