Coffee House coming to Springfield

[Lunican]

Isn't making coffee at home pretty easy? No one seems to do that.

I do...every morning...but I don't make pastries...

Isn't making coffee at home pretty easy? No one seems to do that.

It's not the coffee, it's the experience   Something about walking into a place with dim lighting, big, cushy seats, people on laptops, laid-back folk music playing in the background, and the smell of strong espresso just does something.  To recreate that at home would be more work than it's worth.  Although, if I still lived in Riverside, sitting on my front porch on a warm summer morning watching the people walk by with a cuppa in my hand is a close second

You said it, SP...that's exactly what it is...the atmosphere!

Hopefully 2008 will be the year that Springfield finally becomes a neigborhood filled with "third place" type businesses.

there maybe more coffee shops downtown than people living here.  Do we have hard numbers?

I cannot wait until this coffee house opens.  Everything that these two guys touch, turns to gold. They are dedicated to making things the best they can be... and this coffee house will NO DOUBT be a success.

I love the idea of the realty company being adjoined. This property will truly be an asset to the neighborhood.

CAN'T WAIT GUYS!

This seems as if it would be a nice addition to springfield.

I pass it at least twice a day but haven't met the owners because of my schedule.  It's a week into March, any additional news on when it's opening???

[jbm32206]

It's scheduled to open on the 21st...

You can get a sneak peak, along with free coffee and cake at this Thursday's SAMBA meeting.  Three Layers is the host and will be giving a presentation on their new business.

If you can afford to make good coffee at home go for it.  This is what you'll need.

Triple Reverse osmosis water filteration center maintained, checked and calibrated daily by trained staff.
Horribly expensive commercial coffee making maintaining hot water to excatly 200 degree F.
You'll need freshly ground coffee of the highest quality.
Preferribly a gold filter (gold just hit 1,000 an ounce)

Or just brew some maxwell house (no offense) using recycled human waste water from your local municpality without any additional filtering, recycled newspaper coffee filters, heating the "water" to god  knows what temp and poising yourself all the same with the carcinogens that the colorine didn't kill.

If that's the way roll

Wha?   A bit synical today are we, Gatorback?

It probably has to do with I had just paid $8.00 at starbucks for that horrible Honey Latte and that crumb and streusel  (I don't know the difference) treat which I ended up getting the wrong one...I wanted the one with the red things it but I got the Cinnamon one.  I didn't say anything because that's the way I roll.  I just take it and the rant on my fellow bloggers.  Sort of passive agresive I know.

ROFLMAO.  Ok, the honey latte just freakin SOUNDS gross.  I dont' know why you would order that to begin with, and then on top of that having some sugar-laden pseudo-pastry???  You gotta find a coffee house and stick to it so they know your name and drink when you walk in the door.  I'm a star at the one on S'side and Baymeadows   I don't even have to say a thing when I walk in, just pay, grab my coffee and go.  Oh, and all the "treats" are all shipped in and full of preservatives anyhow.  You don't want any of that.  I make one mean cupcake, all organic.  THAT's what you should be munchin with your Maxwell House.
