Raise Your Glasses

Here's to the people who frequent places in need of a pick-me-up, a shot of espresso, cup of joe on the go, or lounging with someone they know. This is for the pretentious types & beggars alike; the tired, the weary, those desperately studying, & everyone else in between. Here's to the readers, the dreamers, roamers, loners, crazy characters, passerby's, & regulars. Here's to a comfy couch, a mellow musical mix, a crafty corner dimly lit, warm smells, unexpected spectacles, & baristas themselves. Here's to the peaceful existence between dark roasts, vanilla lattes, half & half cream, or foreign born beans; a true house blend all sipping together under one unified roof or outdoor spot, & the pure essence of the Americano melting pot. Here's to all of those who are continually stirring the coffee culture.

Fun Lines While Working

As a customer returns to the counter:
-"Hey can I get a cup for water please?"
-"Sure, that'll be $2.15."
Blank stare
-"Really...?"
Me- "No."

A customer rings up a total of $2.15 for their order. They pull out a credit card, and ask if it's okay to use it for an order that small. I say:
"Ahh, actually we have a $17.00 minimum."
-"Really? $17.00?"
-"No."

We have mason jars titled, Cake Jar, with a fun descriptive name of what kind of cake is in them. Almost every other day I hear:
"Wow what are those Cake Jar things?"
Never able to resist:
Me- "Well, despite the misleading name, they really are just a cake in a jar."
