A Latte of Fun

Every Christmas, kids (of all ages) make their wish lists to Santa and hope they get what is on the top of their list. And even if you don't make an tangible list, there is still that hope that "Santa" would get you precisely what you were hoping for.

Well, what if you could talk to the man himself in person?

Come to our "Breakfast with Santa" event on December 19 and you may have a chance to do just that. More details are coming soon!

On a more different note, if you like lattes and art, come in while our friend Brenna is working and see what kind of frothy creation she can make for you! This is just a bit of her handiwork. (And feel free to ask our other employees to take a whirl at it...you might be surprised at what you find on the top of your drink.)

Disclaimer: As we practice our latte art skills, an eye for a more "interpretive art" may be needed in order to identify our objects.

(This is clearly not the case here, however, with Mr. Easter Bunny visiting us several months early!)

In case you forget what a cup of coffee looks like, Brenna wanted to paint you a picture from the bird's eye view.

And finally, for the chocolate lovers, this frothy star will undoubtedly satisfy your most inner sweet tooth.

If you are still looking for that perfect gift, we still have wonderful french presses, coffees, and mulling spices for your loved ones.

Finally, we would like to make a quick shout out to Jenny's mom! Thanks for reading and we hope you enjoy reading these posts as we do writing them!

Gobs of Goodies

As fellow Americans, we know that the national Diet Day known as Thanksgiving is a little rough some years. Because we know that you all kept any kind of food and fun to a minimum, we want to reward you with the option to splurge. That is why we are offering all kinds of scrumptious foods for our starving post-Thanksgiving customers!

We have (for your digestive pleasure):

• Muffins (Cappuccino Chocolate Chunk, Blueberry, Cranberry Orange)
• Breakfast Cookies
• Turnovers (flavors change daily)
• Bagels with an assortment of cream cheeses, and
• Voran-Goertzen peppernuts

And if you're planning on entertaining a small army of family or coworkers with food, feel free to order some pans of our rolls or other goodies. But make sure you make those holiday orders early.

We're also selling Torani syrups if you enjoy making drinks at home.

Finally, we have lots of Christmas gifts available for you or your loved ones...including 2010 calendars which are 25% off!

Black Friday

As you think about your holiday shopping, we want to let you know of our extended hours on Black Friday! We will be open from 5:00 am to 10:00 pm and will have a special of $1.00 coffee from 5-8 am! (Additional sales will be disclosed later.)

At 7:00 pm Jean Kennedy will be playing her guitar and singing for us on stage. So come and visit us for some good sales and a relaxing break from you crazy day out shopping.

And while you're here, you can drop off your Operation Christmas Child boxes. Or of you haven't started one yet, its not too late! Boxes will be collected until November 23.

These simple gifts will be given to children across the world who may not get another Christmas gift in their life. For more details, go to samaritianspurse.org.

We look forward to seeing you!

A Brand New Holiday Season

Now that construction is a thing of the past, and we have had a moment to breathe (however short or small it may have been) it is time for us to move right on into the holiday season! The air is getting colder and we already have "decked our halls" with Christmas trees. (No snowmen were harmed in the making of this blog.)

Our new location has given us extra space to spread out and display our new holiday products. Here is our "coffee tree" which has many ornaments related to the addicting and delicious beverage.

This is just one of the ornaments on the tree. Others include
Java and Espresso. (These ornaments are not edible...however aesthetically pleasing they may appear.)

We also have some new Christmas CD's in, including Chris Tomlin's "Glory in the Highest," Big Daddy Weave's "Christ is Home," and Mark Masri's "Christmas is...." Traci says that "these will help everyone spread the holiday cheer."

Here are just a few books that Jessica suggests for Holiday gifts and enjoyment: "The Unfinished Gift" by Dan Walsh, "The Sound of Sleigh Bells" by Cindy Woodsmall for adults, and "O Little Town of Bethlehem" (a book that plays music), and "Memories of the Angel" which tells of God's never ending love.
