Share Your Local LOVE Dinners

     It always seems to take a few extra weeks to recover from the holidays.  I have the best intentions to have my Christmas decorations put away right on January 6 but here we are on the 21 and we are still finding different pieces to put away!  And, I will make the same statement - NEXT YEAR, I WILL HAVE MY ACT TOGETHER!
     But here we are - the end of January and it's time to restart dinners.  Thursday Night Dinners, however will be changing to reflect our need to support this amazing community that has supported us so well.  Our dinners will now feature a menu that reflects the diverse opportunities to showcase all local vendors.  If we have the chance to purchase local meat, we will do so.  If we can source locally grown vegetables, that is what we will do.  It will be the same with dairy, bread and baked goods.  Every menu item will list from where we purchased the ingredients so you know whom you will be supporting.  We will also return to full, sit-down format and our staff is ready to give you the night off and let you relax in a welcoming atmosphere!  Lastly, our menu will now feature custom-crafted cocktails designed to accompany our all-new menu, again featuring as many locally-sourced ingredients as possible.
     Not able to make it in?  We can always prepare a to-go bag if you give us a call.  Not everyone has the time to hang out with us but needs the night off from cooking so we can take care of dinner and you can cross this off your list.  And, to better serve you, our dinner hours will be 5-9:00.
     Beyond dinners, we have so many exciting events coming up.  In February, we are hosting a cookie class for Valentine's Day by Cakes by Amanda.  At the end of March, we are starting to plan our Easter Brunch.  In May, we will again host our Mother's Day brunch.  We are starting to schedule several private events such as bridal showers and baby showers so if you need a space for an event, we are ready to help.  Or as always, if you need a catering platter to bring in to work or to bring to a party, we would love to help make you the hero of the day!
     2023 ended and I am once again extremely grateful for everything we see happen around us in this wonderful community and for this amazing staff.  I have said it before but the coffeehouse has been and continues to be my dream, and I love it as much today as the moment the dream took root in my mind back in 2017.  This amazing staff works tirelessly to keep the dream alive while serving our wonderful customers, and I know you appreciate them as much as I do.  So many of their ideas are alive in the coffeehouse as well as yours so feel free to share your ideas and we will do our best to incorporate what we can to better serve.
     I know some of us are already saying how sick we are of winter (like me) but we are prepared to warm you up with a hot bowl of soup and a nice steaming cup of coffee and are hoping you can make time to stop in and say hi while you are out running errands because it's always a beautiful day on the Hardwick Common!
