the best coffee i ever had o.p., was made at home. where it is always the right blend and texture for me, try it sometime. and the server is never bitchy to you, unless you are a complete idiot. and you, the customer is always right, no matter how wrong you are.
Call me crazy, but until we start growing coffee beans here in the HRM, it won’t matter where you go, you won’t technically be “buying local”…
If I owned a business I wouldn’t be open that early either. If the demand was there they’d be open.
Because as a small business instead of a faceless conglomerate, they’d like to give their employees sane shifts? Buy some fucking grounds and make it at home.
I take a thermo of hot coffee to work every day and save a bundle. Of course, it helps if you like it your coffee noir.
I agree with OP. People looking for coffee are looking for it first thing in the morning. It would make sense to open a couple of hours earlier and close likewise. Probably catch more traffic.
Because it’s bad enough with wannabe writers taking up table space, all day, with their laptops, writing the Great Canadian Novel (now there’s an oxymoron). Yep there all day, one small coffee bought.
make your own coffee.
Oh.. i guess that doesn’t solve the problem of how you’ll be SEEN buying local, now does it? Otherwise why drink coffee at 10pm?
Bro Tim lol as a writer i find it absolutely hilarious that any “writer” would EVER sit their ass in a noisy, distracting coffee shop all day. My best work is done at 4am under a pile of notes at my desk in my room.
haha most of those fair trade coffee beans are at least in part handled by slaves. Or at best, they’re still poor as hell making coffee for us. I always find this magnanimous attitude so funny.. Outsourcing is a source of cheap, hardworking labour no matter how you cut it. You’re still part of the 1% sweetie.
