    Hey Ed.

    You still at Grumpy? Coming back to see you guys in the middle of Feb.

  • Liz Clayton

    Did not properly say hi and welcome back to you as I am homeless and need to do things like take boring meetings with insurance agents in cafes, rather than just hang out. Next time I promise you I will be just hanging out wasting time and I will say hi, welcome back, and "How the hell was Panama?" !

  • Tim Styles

    I wish I could hear about your travels in person. Your excitement is so contagious!

  • Jeff Givens

    Small world, huh? We really enjoyed Grumpy in Chelsea and were very impressed by everyone's friendliness, knowledge, and level of service. As busy as the shop appeared to me, it surprised me when you said how packed it can be during a real rush.

    The Los Lajones was excellent!

    Hey Ed, my wife and I were at Grumpy earlier today on our Manhattan spro crawl - excellent espresso & cappuccino, beautiful tulip - great job! We loved the shop and were very impressed.

  • Ray Hencken

    Mas Cafe is located in Emmaus, PA (near Allentown) - about 1.5 hrs away from NYC. You had a pretty steady stream of people when we were in, so I didn't want to bother you. But, next time we head up to NYC I'll let you know and maybe we can talk coffee a bit. Again, great job - and, thanks, now I want a Synesso.

    Thanks for stopping into the Press the other day! You mentioned that you're selling your Rock Out shirts...where can I get one?! I think we may have met at Grumpy last spring, actually, when I was in NYC. I had a long conversation with someone, anyway, about my thoughts of relocating from Maine to somewhere else...

    Keep on rocking that macch!

  • Benjamin H Wilkinson

    Ed! I've been thinking about getting in touch lately. I hope you are well and the new project is good. I've also moved to a new company. If you are ever up this way please call me or send a note !

    Nov 19, 2008

  • Benjamin H Wilkinson

    Ed! Blue State Coffee is the name of the company. If you take anything from that, we are a politically, socially and environmentally motivated company donating a percentage of sales to progressive causes voted on by our customers. It's exciting. Matter of fact, there was something I could ask you about gear... I'll send a message.

  • Matthew

    Hey Ed. Hit me up when your in Seattle. I work at Trabant Coffee and Chai downtown and I could show you around some good stuff(coffee, food, beer, stuff, ect). That would totally rule.

    Nov 21, 2008

  • Alex Negranza

    Hahaha, I just replied to your blog and then I stumbled across my co-worker, Matt's reply. Matt and I can definitely show you some great coffee. Definitely recommend the two of us, we're ridiculous together.

    How are the new digs treating you. We haven't met, but spoke on the phone. I have perhaps the biggest feet at Barefoot Coffee.
