Every respectable town has one - you know a coffee destination - a place where great coffee is admired by the staff members and the customer, where everyone knows where the beans came from, how the coffee was roasted, and most importantly - how to brew it properly and paint their art on top of the crema. Origin is that type of place - a place worth the trip, worth the extra few blocks of walking, worth making it a reason to be in Lake Placid. Nestled across from the Olympic Speed Skating oval, this non-corporate gem is warm and inviting, the staff are always sincerely glad to see you, the in-house made pastries and tasty breakfasts/lunch items are always special.

You won't want to miss this - if you see Jecinda, the owner - make sure you say hi and tell her your story, she is a great listener and her smile is always a perfect way to...
