We've made it a whole year!!! Woohoo! That's right, folks, we opened a year ago almost exactly and despite the fact that we haven't updated the blog in four months and we almost abandoned our Twitter feed, we're still roasting and brewing coffee like mad.
Some news from the past few months:
- We bought our new roaster, a Diedrich IR-12 and we're currently building out our roastery in the basement, er, I mean cellar. And yes, that's why Jeremy is always covered in dust and grease.
- Portobello Vegan Tratoria has joined us! Jeremy's brother, Aaron, has opened up an amazing restaurant in our space. Vegan or not, you will be amazed at what this man can do with vegetables. Everything is made from scratch and is to die for. Call to make a reservation (required for groups of 6 or more) or run the risk of waiting for an hour! Wed-Sat 5:30-10:30pm.
- We made FOOD Day's 100 Favorite Things list for 2008! We're humbled and happy to be featured alongside Spella. If you haven't been to Spella's awesome espresso cart downtown you're missing out on an amazing affogato experience. Now you know what to do with your next unseasonably warm day.
Ok, I could blog about everything that's happened over the past 5 months for days (Snopocalypse, new president, the new Great Depression!) but let's look forward people!
I'll be posting more and more on this thing because it's my New Year's resolution. Better than promising to lose 20 pounds, right?
