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!

anybody know what happened to i-café?

I had discovered i-café in Teele Square in May or so, but it seems like just when I found out about it and started to evangelize, they closed. Their hours were always a little erratic, so at first I thought it was just that I was missing their open times, and then I thought maybe the owners were on vacation or something. I pretty much despair of their ever re-opening, yet the sign stays up. What gives?

They just applied for an awning license at the last BOA meeting, so it seems they are still around. I have never been but I understand it's a funky little place.

I called them up to figure out where exactly they were. This was in the beginning of the summer and the guy who answered the phone said they were closed for renovations. I believe they said they'd be re-opening in a few months...which would be now.
