There’s a temptation to get away during the summer and escape the hot temperatures. But if travel isn’t an option — or even if it is — hanging around town can be diverting. Here’s how to spend a weekend staycationing in our neighborhood.

8 A.M.

Satisfy cravings for a morning cup of joe or an afternoon pick-me-up at one of our neighborhood’s independent coffee shops. Experience an Australian coffee shop at LDU Coffee (original at 2650 N. Fitzhugh Ave.).

Window Seat Coffee is inspired by the cabin of an airplane (3018 Greenville Ave.). Extend a greeting to one of our neighborhood’s newest shops, JuJu’s Coffee (6038 La Vista Drive), or one of its most established enterprises, White Rock Coffee (original at 10105 E. Northwest Highway).
