Shout out.

We want to thank the Tower Homes Association (check out their link in our local favorites) for including us in their member discount card!  It provides great deals to many area businesses.  If you bring in your card, we will give you 10% off of any regular coffee or espresso drink!  Make sure to bring the card though, as we cannot give the discount without seeing it.  
If you live within the boundaries (from Gregory Blvd. to 79th Street- from Wornall to Troost, and from 79th Street to the north side of 82nd Street - from the east side of Oak to the west side of Holmes) you should definitely become a member...only $25!  Some of the other businesses on it are SRO video, (you may recognize a couple of our baristas from their other jobs at SRO!) Waldo Pizza, Waldo Pets, Lew's, Kennedy's, and more, more, more!  Please help support your neighborhood.

Snow!

So, snow isn't the most ideal thing we want to see on our first Saturday open, but that is the deal. We have plenty of hot drinks to warm you up!  Come curl up for awhile with a drink and magazine or book.  We should be open most of the day...may close up a little early if traffic slows down.  Remember, we are not open tomorrow!

Ta-da!

So, we are definitely opening tomorrow (8:00.)  Through the weekend, as stated previously, things will be a little weird.  Not bad weird, just things like opening a little late, possibly closing early, and we will not be open Sunday.  We are just getting our feet wet, and seeing how things go!  Also, at least tomorrow, we will not really have any sort of food yet!  Sorry...like I said, getting our feet wet, plus figuring out when/how to order from all of our vendors.

Starting Monday, though, we will have regular hours.  There will be some weirdness at some point next week or the week after.  One day we will have to either be fully closed or have a half day so that we can get our grease trap installed.  I know...bad timing...that's just how it ended up working out.  We will post the date as soon as we know it.

I hope you meet them for yourself soon, but just so you know, we have a fantastic staff!  We have really lucked out with finding people that are hard workers, interesting, eager to learn, full of ideas, and super nice!  Some are old hands at the barista trade, and others are brand new.  It is a great mix.  Jeremy and I are looking forward to getting to know them better, and getting to know you better!

What We've Been Waiting For!

So... next Thursday, February 26, we should be quietly opening our doors!  
The first few days may have a wacky schedule.  I think Thursday we will not be opening until 8:00, just to allow for some extra opening time on the first day.  Also, we may be closed that first Sunday.  But, starting Monday, March 2, we should definitely be on a regular schedule.  We will have a grand opening celebration on a Saturday a couple weeks after opening.  We will post a date here and on our website soon!  There will be specials and prizes on that day.

Gotta go... baby woke up...more soon!
