Open for Business

It's official! Our newly remodeled cafe is now open for business, featuring baked goods from Deluxe Cakes and Pastries and Stumptown brewed coffee and espresso drinks. Our wine bar begins serving from noon on and features hors d'oeuvres from The Motley Cow Cafe.

More stuff!

Our dishes came today!


And the installation begins...

We got our espresso machine!

Today our espresso machine arrived from Seattle. It is a La Marzocco three group Linea that was manufactured in July 2009. It was also really heavy.



And look how shiny!



We are also super excited about our new chairs!



Next week, you will be able to sit in our chairs and check out your reflection while waiting for a great shot of Stumptown Hairbender espresso!

Coffee & Cupcakes!

We've been working long hours transforming the cafe into a warm and inviting place with tones of red, brown, and yellow. Check out our progress (and see if you can find James in this picture!)


We are so excited to be working with Deluxe Bakery and to be selling their delicious pastries! Here's a preview :


Mmmm!

In one week (3/22) you'll be able to pick up one of these goodies as well as a delicious cup of Stumptown coffee - we got our first shipment today! Hope to see you soon!

We Started Painting!

Since Monday, the cafe space in Prairie Lights has been unoccupied by its previous tenants, and we've been working very hard to get the space up and running for our new cafe! We've been painting since Monday (see above!) and will keep going tomorrow. Feel free to stop in and see us!



Stumptown Coffee was mentioned today in this New York Times article. We're going to be offering Stumptown coffee here in Iowa City! That right there is our very first bag of the stuff. Coming to you soon.
