Greetings all. I know the question on everyone’s minds is, “When is MadCap going to open?”. So, here’s a little update. Needless to say we’ve hit various road blocks along the way which has continually slowed things down. However, we are nearing completion. The bar is being constructed as I type, the GB/5 is on the way, lots of mugs and things are being shipped, there is green coffee dying to be roasted and we are ready to strangle each other. No but seriously, we are hoping to be open before Christmas. As of right now we are planning on a soft opening with some sweet events and parties happening after New Years. Basically we just want extend the joy of the holidays right into next year. So we will keep all posted on our grand opening events. I have posted a few new pics on flickr of the bar build. I know it doesn’t look like much is happening but you’ll just have to wait and see.
On another note, we just received a shipment of beans from Finca Vista Hermosa in Guatemala and we are stoked about this coffee. We’ve heard a lot of good things about this farm and we’re excited about working with Edwin. We’ll have this coffee available in our shopping cart by next week. Also, we’ve got a Holiday Blend right now only available for purchase by the bag at The Sparrows on Wealthy. Its a Honduran/Ethiopian blend with lots of floral notes complemented by some nice chocolate undertones. Yummy and great for sipping on the porch while watching all this snow being dumped on Michigan right now.
That’s all I got for now. I’ll be posting more regularly with updates and will post some more bar build pics by the end of the day. Cheers to all you MadCap faithful! The beginning is near.
