Title: The Beanery @ The Shops
Post by: EmGee on February 12, 2012, 00:07:44: Need a little jolt to start your day? Come visit "Big Bear" John and enjoy a cup of his hot, organic, free-trade, shade-grown, free range (just kidding!) coffee.
No fancy, $6, twenty-word cup of joe here... just the best of the best at The Beanery!

I couldn't agree more, George.

You have a superb eye for detail and a great way with words for your customs.

Can I have a mocca with extra choocolate sprinkled on top, a tea and two almond croissants, please?

Thinking about it... I don't think PM makes anything that resembles muffins or cupcakes, does anyone know?

When I was toying with the idea of the coffee shop, I started looking for the perfect barista... and found him! "Big Bear", as his friends/clients call him, is originally from the PNW. A little bit of a hippie, a little grunge, a little punk... he used to be in a band when younger. Has a degree in Molecular Botany and used to be one of the most successful medicinal cannabis growers on the West Coast. Now, semi-retired, he enjoys working at The Beanery. He lives a peaceful, quiet life with his dog Puff.

You see... don't get me going! Grrrr! 8}
