A visit from the Ringmaster of coffee

The traveling master of coffee for the Ringling Bros. Circus stopped in! We’d been waiting for his visit for weeks, we just find him fascinating. Read more about Circus Coffee at www.circuscoffee.com.

We’ve added Mocha Brownies to the menu today, just thought you’d want to know, they are yummy!

If you missed the email, just in time for cold weather we’ve begun serving our Signature Mayan Hot Chocolate.

EXTRA SPACE

An outlaw, caffeine and retro trailer

In partnership with Drew’s Brews, Nashville’s roaster extraordinaire, we showed up for the Willie Nelson concert ready to feed the caffeine frenzy. Not sure what to expect, we were surprised at our popularity! Our limited power supply and one drip brewer couldn’t keep up with the Willie crowd, but we learned quickly how to serve a large crowd and are ready to cater your next event.

The trailer is 50’s model that has been meticulously gutted and rebuilt with coffee and espresso stained wood, truly a labor of love by Drew and friends.

Thanks to Paul Rinkes at http://rinkesphotography.com for snapping this photo. Find a few of our own here, sorry none of Willie – we were too busy making coffee!

Also serving Willie was Mas Tacos, an idea so “simple, so obvious, so brilliant, so…diabolical!…that I’m kicking myself for not thinking of it first” as Jack referred to it on the Nashville Scene Bites blog. We couldn’t wait to try Teresa’s brilliant idea and were not disappointed.

A friend passed this along, a coffee grounds powered truck! Could we be the key to the renewable energy crisis?

Hip folks write us up

Kristen Foster wrote a nice little story on my journey to creating CREMA over at the new hip chick magazine her nashville. Check it out: CREMA of the crop.

Speaking of hip folks, head over to the Nashvillest blog and check out what guest blogger Jon Arnold has to say about CREMA. The Nashvillest is an entertaing-must-ad-this-to-your-rss reading list. Check it out: the Nashvillest.

While you’re surfing, check out these photos Dave has snapped at CREMA, he’s making a small fortune seling them over at istockphoto.com. Nice work Dave! Check them out.

While I’m on a roll here with links, here’s one of our favorite new blogs, Soapbox Musings, she “gets it” and also wrote a few kinds words about CREMA,  “…the best cappuchino I have had since returning to the States…it’s as close to an Italian morning as I’m going to get in quite some time.” Read the whole post.
