Veteran's Day

To honour Veteran's Day and the courageous men and women who defend this country with their lives, the very least we can do is give a free cup to veterans.   Today at the Veteran's Day Ceremony in Chess Park we handed out some postcards.  If you're a veteran, come in and get your free cup- and thank you for your service!

Happy National Cappuccino Day!

Traditionally the cappuccino is a foamy little drink not much bigger than 5 or 6 ounces.   The difference between the cappuccino and the latte lies in milk foam.  The cappuccino has more of it.  Although the name "cappuccino" is not a cutesie italian term for "milk cap".  The drink is named for the Capuchin Friars, in reference to the colour of their original habits, white hoods, and possibly fluffy beards also.  The Capuchin monks are named for the cutesie little Latin term for hat, which is "cappa", because of their hoods.  In honour of National Cappuccino Day, we were going to send out each of our happy customers with a dollop of warm and cozy milk-foam on their heads, but thought better of it.

Have a great day, and don't forget to order a traditional Cappuccino so you can watch us lovingly sculpt the foam into mountain peaks reminiscent of the high altitudes the friars hermited in.

"Take out" menu

The people who live in the high rise accross the street love take-out menu's, so we made one up just for them.  It'll have to be temporary, because we're still developing our full menu.  At least it will give them an idea of what is available here and now.
