Tantra Coffeehouse

About a week or so ago, a friend and I decided we would break the monotony of sitting around doing nothing by doing what most do in a time of boredom: find somewhere to buy something. We walked down towards HEB on Hopkins St. when we saw a coffeehouse across the street named Tantra. Having never been to this place before, we decided to check it out. As we approached the entrance, we realized that this truly was a coffeehouse. It looked as if someone had bought the house on the corner of the street and converted it into a place of business. To our right as we entered was a yard that had been converted to a sort of courtyard with a stage, chairs, tables, a DJ booth, and a playground set. As we entered the house, the aroma of coffee flooded our nostrils and I began to walk around. Each of the rooms was decorated with art and adorned with couches, chairs, and other places to sit and converse. The place even had free wi-fi which could be used in any of the rooms. I, not having much money at the time, just got a glass of herba mate. It was great. My friend that I was with, however, ordered a hummus wrap (as strange as it sounds) and said that it was one of the best things he had ever tasted. My conclusion: Tantra is a great place to hang out, have some coffee, eat some food, and study (maybe).
