6:28 am this morning. What a glorious view!

Our open time says 7 am Monday-Friday. That’s true…ish. We open early every Friday for a Men’s Bible Study which means we’re also open for YOU.

Storytime: this men’s group has been meeting here since Triple C left our community (We miss you Kandi.) We have been opening early for them for quite awhile. These guys were so sad when they heard the shop was closing. When Lisa & Maile were re-opening, they sent one text and asked the guys if they wanted to come back! It was a resounding YES. The ladies served them as a run thru the Friday before the official opening. The smiles and joy were amazing. We 💙 Friday mornings!

Why share this? Well these guys seriously make our Fridays. BUT ALSO we’d open for you too. Last Saturday we opened early for a ladies Bible Study who will be meeting with us a couple Saturdays a month. (Ladies, it’s great to have you back too!)

So what does it mean when we say we’d open for you? If you have a group, a club or a study that has six people or more and if Lisa and Maile are able to, they will open the shop for you. If it is before hours, you have the benefit of us opening up everything because we’ll be kicking our day off. If it is after hours, you’ll get the bakery and the espresso bar. We can reopen the kitchen if prior arrangements are made. We won’t charge a rental fee BUT THE EXPECTATION IS that everyone in your group will purchase drinks and/or asnack. We are so happy to serve our community, but this is also our business and so the dollars & cents of it matter. If your bookclub, game group, elder board, etc. would like to meet in our space, give us a jingle at 402-694-3214 or message us and we’ll see if we can help you out!

As it is Friday, we are open until 8 pm! Mahjong starts at 5:30. Friday Night Murder Club also starts then too. Game Night starts at 6! We are making gumbo and we hope we get the chance to see and serve you. Have an excellent Friday!

If only this post could be a scratch and sniff sticker! The gumbo smells fabulous. Pairs well with most of our sandwiches, including, but not limited to the Cheddar Boss and the Wyatt. We can serve it up to go as well.

Speaking of to go… If you need in order to go feel free to give us a call at 402-694-3214 and we’ll get your order ready! Have a wonderful day.

Your plans for the day, sorted ☕📚

Pretty mug. Good coffee. A five-star book. That’s the whole recipe.

Our shelves are stocked with new arrivals and a few of Lisa & Maile’s current favorites, from cozy literary fiction to fantasy series you’ll want to binge. Look for the colored cards on the shelves: each recommendation comes with a drink pairing from our menu, so your book and your latte were made for each other.

Grab a seat, grab a story, and stay a while. 💗 We’re here until 4 and the soup is gumbo!

Good morning, friends! It’s Wednesday and we are feeling the midweek need for coffee 😉

We’ve got cinnamon rolls, red velvet cookies, and breakfast casserole in the oven! Lisa brewed from Saratoga this morning and we’ve got Farmers Coffee on as well.

Today is the last day for Lisa’s homemade kielbasa and potato soup! She has sold out the last two days so if you wanna make sure you have a bowl, don’t hesitate to call in your order for lunch today: 402-694-3214.

We will be here until two! We hope to see you.

OMG! I love this book like I love lettuce 🥬! Like I love crafting and coffee ☕️ and books!!!! “The Other Bennet Sister” by Janice Hadlow was a happy surprise for me. I have listened to this on Audible as well as having read the actual book at least twice. I have also watched the series on BritBox. Maybe that makes me a super fan, I don’t know? But I seriously questioned whether an author could capture the spirit of the Bennet sisters and do them justice and Janice Hadlow did! If this is not on your TBR, I highly encouraged you to consider adding it! And if you need a copy today, we have one! We’re here until four.
