coffee on the menu
from a 1918 directory, rockford, illinoisA leaf fluttered in through the window this morning,
as if supported by the rays of the sun,
a bird settled on the fire escape,
joy in the task of coffee,
joy accompanied me as I walked.

Some of you have inquired from time to time,what we actually served in our coffeehouse,
circa 10/31/1999 - 5/2004.
This is one of our working menus at the time.
L put the menu together.
Our prices were reasonable, even for
then. We only offered 12 and 16oz drinks,
but if you stayed in, the ceramic mugs were
large ones. We only went as high as $3.50 for
the larger & flavored drinks towards the end.

Very cool menu, CM. That L has talent.
I hope you have another coffeehouse someday. If you want.
I just woke up and saw your coffeehouse menu and I am ready! When do you open another coffeehouse? I promise I will cross the Atlantic and come. I love the menu.
The little poem by Annais is very nice. Did you know that she prided herself on having no odor?
What a lovely storefront.
I love that snickerdoodles are on the menu. :)
I can imagine what a treat it must have been coming across the Caffe Metro Espresso in Wabash. Great that you kept copies of your material.
Cheers to you, cm.

OOOH! Double-shot Chai? In coffee or tea, yes! And yes, very reasonable! and nice menu work, L :)
subT: Hey, thanks for finding and seeming to enjoy that! I will have to relate how Green Tea Chai wouldn't sell at first, and what I did to make it our best seller ; )
C.M., there's a spiced Chai tea I've tried that was quite a pick me up. And I don't much go in for the flavoured coffees but I do tend to get experimental, at times( rare times, at that ). Happy week-end!
subT: Chai with a shot is pretty satisfying ; )
Storms a coming, hope it's dry your way finally.
C.M. ,dry for now but we're due for more of the wet stuff, o'er the week-end :(
Wow! looks fabulous! hows about the meat loaf recipe?
