Lots of Little Tidbits

I meant to post this sooner, but time has a way of escaping me.

Starting today, we are instituting Bus Pass Mondays and Double Punch Tuesdays!  Bring in a KC Metro bus pass on any Monday and receive 25 cents off of any non-bottled drink (which means most drinks.)  We love public transportation, and want to reward you for supporting it.  Also, any time you come in on a Tuesday, if you give us your drink card we will give it two punches instead of one.  If I were you, I would definitely come in tomorrow to receive your double punches, plus to sample the first of our store-baked treats!!

That is correct...Jolinda has switched from being a barista to baking for us!  She will be rolling out cookies, quick breads, biscuits, coffee cakes, and cupcakes.  I think for tomorrow there will be some sort of cookie, coffee cake, and carrot/raisin/pineapple bread.  Don't quote me for sure on that, but I think I am correct.  There may be more...I'm currently not at the shop, so I don't know.  We will still be bringing in croissants of different kinds, cinnamon rolls, and turnovers from City Bakery in addition to Jolinda's goods.

We are also celebrating Earth Day for the whole week (Monday through Friday.)  Our travel mugs are on sale for $8.95.  Any time you bring our 16 oz. mug in to have your drink made in it, we will only charge you for the 12 oz. price!  It is a pretty good deal, especially if you drink a lot of coffee.  Plus, you will save a bunch of cups from being trashed.  This week our bring-your-own-mug from home discount is 25 cents off instead of the usual 15 cents.  Besides the deals, we have a lot of information posted around the store about some of the environmentally friendly products we have chosen to use.  There are also various pamphlets available from our friend Gerould at Elements of Green.  We purchased our flooring and counter tops from him, and really dig his store!  We are hoping to receive some info from The Roasterie to have out too.  Pick up a little pack of Midwestern Wildflower Mix seeds free from us to you as well (while they last.)  

One last thing for now...this upcoming Sunday, April 26, is the 21st Annual Sabates Eye Centers Trolley Run!  This run benefits the Children's Center for the Visually Impaired.  You still have time to sign up if you want to participate (registration closes on April 22 at 11:59 p.m.,) or you can come be a spectator.  Either way, we will be open at 6:30 a.m. to help you warm up or cool down with some coffee.  75th and Wornall is the starting spot for the run, so we are a prime spectating spot!  Please note that Wornall will be closed down where we are.  There still should be access to the parking lot in back, but it may fill up quickly.  If you can, ride a bike over, walk, or take the bus.  It will likely be easier than driving.  Come visit us and enjoy the events!

I think that is it for now...
