The Cinnamontwists

A couple of weeks ago I got a phone call asking if we had fresh cinnamon rolls.  Not an unusual question.  Edward was making them at the time, so I told the caller that we would have them later in the morning.  Then the unusual explanation came.  Two friends are cinnamon roll “officianados” and had read about us in the Columbus Dispatch.  They were going to drive in from Columbus and wanted to make sure that we had cinnamon rolls.  No pressure Edward.

A couple of hours later in came two vibrant ladies who told me that they were Mary and Marilyn, ”the ones” who had called.  They looked around, snapped pictures, ordered cinnamon rolls, and took some more pictures.  During all of this activity questions were asked by all.  We found out that they travel around just to taste different cinnamon rolls and they even had a blog about their adventures!   Here is a little piece of trivia you may not have known….there are no cinnamon rolls on the West coast.  Scandalous, I know, but apparently during vacations, Mary in Denver and Marilyn in California, there were no “real” cinnamon rolls to be found.  Life without cinnamoYet another reason to be thankful we live in the Midwest.

I just got an email from Marilyn with a link to the blog.  I only hope that when Edward and I retire later (much later) we will still have the energy to go on such adventures!  In the meantime here is a link to their blog and what they had to say about Edward’s cinnamon rolls.

New Services

We are excited to offer serveral new services.  Beginning this week, you can have free delivery within one block of the square with a minimum order of $5.00.  So even if you just need a latte, find someone in the office who wants a small coffee, call 740-349-CAFE (2233) and “TA-DA”, we’ll be at your door with java in hand!

Make those office meetings a little better with our catering service.  For just $15.00, we’ll bring a baristabox filled with 128 oz of our delicious house blend, cups, cream and sugar (even the stir sticks) to your office.  Barista box will keep the coffee hot for 3 hours (as if it will last that long).  Want to add some pastries? Just call us by 3:00 PM the day before you want java delivery to customize the tasty treats.

Soon we will add boxed lunches for $5.95.  Pick a sandwich (always served with chips and a pickle), a small side, and a cookie or 2 mini muffins. We’ll be posting the menu for the boxed lunches within the next few days.
