Fun IN STORE!

Hello Friends!

We know it's been a while since you've heard from us and are happy to report it's because we've been so busy! There are a few amazing changes that we wanted to share with you concerning your favorite neighborhood coffee shop, restaurant, book nook, music venue, art gallery and so much more!

First and foremost we are making a paramount move in the right direction by way of acquiring our ABC license! We have posted our notice in the window which means we've officially entered phase 2 of the process. Within the next month or so we will be bringing you craft beer along with local, regional, and international wine selections! This means that we will be undergoing a beautiful transformation starting with an elegant and delicious BRUNCH!

Here's a taste of what we will be offering on the Saturday and Sunday Brunch Menu:

Shrimp & Polenta (our version of shrimp & grits) in a basil cream sauce.

- Eggs Benedict featuring: Crab Cake Benedict, A Classic Eggs Benedict, a Veggie Eggs Benedict, a Norwegian eggs Benedict with Lox, capers, and chives.

- The Croque Madame - a flaky croissant piled high with ham, Swiss cheese, Danny's homemade cheese sauce, and topped with a fried egg.

- A fresh blueberry bread pudding with an irresistible creamy Chai sauce.

- You should also expect fine mimosas in various flavors including but not limited to: Peach, Blood Orange, Passion Fruit, Blueberry, Guava, and Kiwi. We will also be featuring delicious Raspberry Royals, Kir, Sangria, White and Red wine spritzers made with Fresh fruit.
Sounds pretty good right?

With your continued support, enthusiasm, and help spreading the good word, we will continue working hard and soon you should expect extended hours and a FULL dinner menu!! We have plenty of glassware to buy, stocking to do, appetizers to plan for our polished happy hour specials, wine tastings to orchestrate, and a kitchen to prep in order to handle the changes so PLEASE continue coming to see us over the next few weeks while we prepare for these changes!

Let us tell you about a few of the events we have leading up to our big transformation that we know you and your families will love!

Voltaire drank 50 cups per day!

Voltaire (1694-1778)
The learned Voltaire was known for his perspicuity, sarcastic wit and his passion for coffee. Brillat-Savarin credited the beverage for the remarkable clarity in Voltaire's writings. An incorrigible lover of coffee and Parisian coffee houses, the writer and philosopher was a regular at the Le Procope café and helped convert the establishment into one of the most popular literary meeting grounds in Paris. To those who implored him to reduce his coffee intake, he replied: "I've been drinking coffee for over 50 years. That it is poison, I am convinced, but its ill effects have yet to have any bearing on my health."
