2010: a space odyssey

Happy new year!  We’re going to kick this year off with a new blend.  I didn’t think we’d be going with any blends at all, but as it turns out, this new blend is a gem.  A blend consisting of the Guatemala Villaure and the Ethiopia Yirgacheffe, a blend that defies all odds.

2010 news:

The toast is dynamite.  We have three different loaves today.

New coffees on the way, so keep your eyes and ears open.

Sadly, it is Mike and Ryan’s last shift of the old schedule.  It is the end of an era.  Like Yul Brynner and Steve Mcqueen they triumphed the impossible, saved the Mexican village, and did so humbly.  However, in the end the two heroes had to accept the cold fact that their destinies waited in different places.

Next week:  The apprentice becomes master!  Stay tuned!

The Holy Trinity of the Heart

Actually there are seven of us.

We have a new table.  Come sit and try it out.  Give us feedback on it’s curvature, it’s aesthetic, it’s capacity to please you.

Come try some coffee that we don’t even have on our menu!  It’s from El Salvador…or is it?
