Straw Valley Surprise

I happened upon the neatest place last week, Straw Valley Cafe & Wine Bar. It's located in the midst of big box stores making it quite the unexpected. I was awestruck when I first walked through - I felt as though I stepped into another world. The amazingness just kept going from courtyard to corridor. It's a place to attend an event, meet, relax and enjoy.


Each nook and turn is decorated just so, and there is free Wi-Fi throughout.


The zen garden was quite relaxing on a cool day with bamboo & seating all around.


I loved the layout, water feature and well manicured areas. This property use to house two sculptors many years ago. It was farmland. Now this quaint spot is a slice of heaven, and history revitalized, in the midst of the hustle and bustle. It's a true breath of fresh air.


Not only is the outside fantastic, but the inside is just as unique.


I love the red hallway above and the art throughout, shown below.


You can truly set up camp, anywhere, and bask in this creative environment.


The photograph of the tree below reminds me of the treehouse lookout they are adding!



The cafe serves bites and delights such as wine and popsicles. This is attached to a very nice home consignment shop. And plans next door? A hotel with a rooftop pool & bar.
