Well, as some of you reading this may know the shop is not yet open. In the midst of many road blocks, one of them being a stinking kitchen sink, we are hopefully a week away from opening our doors. However, in the spirit of positivity I would like to share what I hope will be even more of an incentive to come see us once we do open. Due to the fact that we have had considerable more time to think on how we are going to do things here at MadCap the direction and results have turned out considerablly different than my original vision. The delay has allowed us to rethink our menu, connect with a brilliant General Contractor named Tom Roeters, who connected us with a very talented carpenter called Forest Glory, connect with Edwin at Finca Vista Hermosa, and the list goes on and on. If I forgot to mention someone I’m sorry but this ain’t the grammys. Anyhow, if you’ve stopped in or peaked in the window then hopefully we’ve been around to give you a cuppa. If not feel free to ask if we’re in. Provided the sink shows up this week and all goes smoothly with our final inspections we’ll be open next week. Stay tuned.
On another note, I’m going to take this opportunity to plug our recent purchase of coffee from Edwin Martinez at Finca Vista Hermosa in Guatemala. Its an amazing coffee from easily the best farm in Guatemala. It was a joint effort through [evo] that allowed us to purchase this coffee and we love it. So once we open come in and order a chemex of it and relish the moment. Also, our first rotation of artwork is being put up and they happen to be pictures from our [evo] line Guatemalan coffee. They include pictures of the farmer Andreas and his family. Make sure to check em out. Lastly, Ryan and I (Laura maybe) are trying to find time to start thinking/preparing for the regional barista competition that’s coming up in February. I know Ryan is working on his signature drink so if you are in and it looks like he’s cooking something ask him about it and maybe you’ll get a taste. Ok, folks that’s all for now. Hopefully the next time I post I’ll be telling you we’re open for business. cheers

You need a super secret signal to let us know we can come buy more beans until you open. A masking tape ‘X’ in the corner of the window or something! Or maybe create a Madcap twitter user we can follow!
Definitely a Twitter user… I would SO follow you on Twitter.
Jay,
I’m not technologically advanced enough to create a twitter, but I do roast MadCap coffee. And if you stop by the shop anytime, we’ve got fresh coffee ready to be sold.
If you come by anytime during the day someone should be there to help you. If you give me some time I may be able to work out the ‘X’ taped in the window:-)
Ryan
Twitter could actually be a great marketing tool for you guys. I’d be happy to sit down and help you get it set up sometime. It would take us all of 10 minutes.
Let me know!
It’s now Wednesday the 14 and I’m trying to peak in your windows to see if you are open. There are lights on…are you open yet?
We are soft open. There are baked goods. Come.
We’ll be right there!

Many thanks!
