So our first 2 weeks went pretty well. No advertising , just word of mouth and a very thirsty downtown business crowd. Each day, except MLK day, which was slow, we have seen an increase in numbers. People are pretty grateful to have a 'real' coffeehouse in town. People also have been looking for a lunch spot, and I have to pay the bills, so on Monday we will add soup and panini to our modest menu offerings. I am trying to strike the balance , staying focused on our outstanding espresso and coffee, but have enough to offer to get the newcomers in the door.Despite the many details to take care of, I am still reveling in the realization of our hard work and focus of the last 2 years. It makes me so happy to have people sitting in the chairs I assembled, conversing over a great latte, hanging out in the space. Very cool.
