I once used the word “disability” when talking with my neurologist. While I don’t recall his exact response, it was along the lines of, “You don’t have a disability. You are a capable person. You can live your life however you want.” While these were words that I needed to hear at the time, his delivery (as with many neurologists) was lacking a certain comforting, compassionate angle that would have also been helpful.
When he suggested that I go to Epilepsy …

But fear not friends! We’re changing that for you.
That’s right folks, your favorite little cafe will be open 7 days a week, starting February 21st!

Golden brown delight
Cinnamon and sugar blend
Masticating bliss.
……………….
The Beatles were wrong
Happiness is a warm bun
Ringo would get it.

They taste like comfort
Soft warm gooey awesomeness
They raise my spirits.
……………………..
Akin to a hug
Peaceful sugary moments
Envelopped with spice.

Have you ever bought one of our meringue cookies, and wondered where the money goes?
Every month we chose a new charity to donate 100% of sales from meringues to – we wanted to share with you what we’ve contributed so far, and to whom.
First up, we chose to donate all funds from the first month and a half we were open to a cause close to our hearts – finding a cure for breast cancer.
All of the books you can …

So, after that long and winding path through our French press coffees, we’ll now chat a bit about our espresso drinks, our teas, and our lemonades. Hopefully we’ll keep it shorter than before.

We could talk about what its like to be at work and baking by 6am every day (well, really, I can… Alex gets to stay till 8 to make up for it…), or the careful masterminding that the patio set-up and put-away logistics require, but …
