Free coffee at a new cafe

[prog.livejournal.com]

I dropped by the brand-new Ball Square coffee house on Broadway, across the street from True Grounds. (Yeah, I know.) They seem to be going for a slightly more restauranty vibe, having place-set tables with matching napkins and all, but they're happy to sell coffee to go as well.

I met one of the owners, a friendly dude who was enthusiastically greeting everyone coming in. He told me that they're serving coffee on the house for their first few days of operation. Dunno how long that's gonna go on, so look for the balloons and follow your nose if you'd like to try a complimentary cuppa. I can attest that they have a decent dark roast!

That's the new Ball Sq Cafe right? It's in the old spot that Soundbites was in. From what I understand (from my mom actually), it's run by the same people who own Victor's next door. And if that is indeed the case...the 2 owners are absolute sweethearts.

I am told, probably by someone here, that the owner of the building, who also owns Victor's, kicked SoundBites out and hired their chef because they wanted that lines-out-the-door action for themselves. They were apparently not expecting Yasser to simply move next door.
