    Do you know where the expression 'cup of joe' comes from?

    Whether you call it 'Cup of Joe', 'Cuppa Joe' or 'Cup O' Joe' this commonly used phrase used to signify a cup of hot coffee has an enigmatic origin. Although it's not 100% certain, there are a few clues as to where this term originated from. Did you know that one of them actually has roots in North Carolina history?!  "Cup of Jamoke" - There is one theory that the term 'Cup of Joe' derived from this expression which was a shortened combination of the words 'java' and 'mocha'.

    Behind the Beans: Indonesia West Java

    Have you met our Indonesia West Java coffee yet? We hope you will make these beans a part of your daily coffee ritual! What they are like: These beans are down to earth. This medium roasted Indonesian coffee from West Java has a low-toned richness but a full body and medium acidity. Its smooth finish has a pleasant aftertaste that gives you a quicker sweeter taste on the tongue compared to most heavy bodied coffees. We find this smooth coffee to have hints of vanilla and honey. Where they come from: West Java was the first place in Indonesia where the Dutch first planted coffee during the...

    Things are Brewin' on Main Street!

    It's been three weeks since we started the cafe remodeling. What have we 'bean' up to? ;-) We are excited to share with you that the interior framing is complete. That's right, things are really starting to take shape! All of the major framework including structural beams, walls, ceilings, bathrooms, a new and improved staircase to the second floor and the coffee bar on the main floor have been framed out. The original staircase (as you can see in the photo to the right) was very steep with short steps. The new staircase is much easier to use and we feel will serve...
