Have we been invaded?

Wow new coffee shoppe in town so wife and I went by to see if the coffee was to our liking.  First thing I noticed when I opened the door was the great layout or floor plan if you like.  It is not a family place but more toward the couples scene. 

We went on in and was going to seat ourselves when I saw that there was no-one to seat us.   No waiters or waitresses.  We went to the counter and was greeted by a young lady with a ring in her nose.  ( we used to put rings in our hogs nose if they were in habit of rooting under the fence.)  She used a bunch of terms that this old country boy had trouble understanding and I graduated from FHS.  Anyway we each settled on a plain cup of coffee and I got a muffin and the wife a piece of pie.  She handed us a couple of cups and pointed us to some urns on a table where we pumped our coffee from.  She handed us our pie and muffin and we carried everything to a table and seated ourselves to enjoy coffee and a muffin or pie.  The coffee was warm and the muffin was half done.  I can't say it any other way and be honest. 

I can see that they are leaning more toward the "Jet-set" that wants their Starbucks and other specialty coffee.  I hope they will remember that some people just want coffee and a muffin and don't shut themselves completely out of business.  The coffee had a good flavor it just needed to be a little warmer for my taste.

Well that about does my review of this coffee shoppe.  I hope to make this review a weekly process as wife and friends visit other area business in the neighborhood.
