Beanwood Coffee - Coming Soon!

...so the sign read! Living in B-city for over 5 years now, we've longed for a good coffee joint in town. Yea, we had a Starbucks, that is, until it moved to Fieldsboro, but even when that was within walking distance, it was still in the Acme..and not a "shop" by any means..

So when Beanwood Coffee posted it's sign nearly 2 years ago, we were thrilled!! A real coffee joint in town! The sign adorned the glass..and faded..and became worn with age, as the place never really came to fruition..something about bad floor joists, I'd heard..who knows?!

Then, when the ice cream maker slept with the baker, the folks at Beanwood had some luck! The ice cream place was closing down! Beanwood had its big break! It was really happening! Again!

Last night, as Joe and I walked into town to the annual Christmas Tree lighting, what did our wonderous eyes come upon? A light! Crisp window display! A sign! It was REALLY open! Of course, we rushed right in to get a warm beverage to enjoy while the tree lighting took place..

"A Mocha Latte, please!"

"Sorry, we don't have any flavors."

"mmm, ok, are you getting them?" (After all, they just opened, I had to give them the benefit of the doubt, perhaps a glitch!)

"no, I don't think so..."

I settled for hot cocoa instead, and Joe opted for a plain latte. The lids didn't fit (an ordering glitch, I'm sure!) We headed out..befuddled..how is it possible that a full blown coffee joint was offering just that..coffee?! no flavors?! no fluff? no fru fru coffee drinks?

I really hope they change their tune..they can't possibly survive on coffee and tea alone!
