Ain't it cute?

Surprise, surprise . . . we recently decided to go crazy and lease a space to open a coffeeshop in January of '08! How on earth are we crazy enough to open yet another cafe in the completely over-caffeinated city of Portland, OR? Well, to be honest, we still get way too many bad cups of coffee in this town, despite its current status as coffee mecca. And yes, of course, we are completely insane.

The truth is that we've been looking for a space for almost 2 years now, so when we found the cute little victorian on a corner with a kitchen already built out we pounced on it before fully coming to our senses. Twelve hours later we were meeting with the landlord to sign a lease. Hallelujah.

So for you curious folks, the new digs will be at 2001 SE 11th Ave (between Hawthorne and Division). We'll be serving French press coffee, espresso, tea and a few bites to eat. You know the drill. We imagine that the bulk of our business will be coming from the surrounding warehouses and offices so our hours will be fairly limited at first, probably something like M-F 6:30am-3pm, unless you start beating down our door, demanding that we be open on weekends. Being the parents of an extremely active (and impatient) 2 year-old, we're trying to save the remaining shreds of our sanity by giving ourselves days off. At least until farmers' market season starts up again and we go back to working 7 days a week. Woo! Can't wait to see you there. Check back for more details soon.
