Good Afternoon, I am the owner of Blues and Brews., Formally Quitters and Equator. 1523 Stittsville Main St. I was also the former owner of the Juke Joint in Carp.
I am writing to the community with zero ego to ask for you all to spread the word, that it’s been a difficult go. We have had some major hiccups along the way, including the 20k espresso machine dying, the construction next door, power outages, the weather, people using the private lot for parking, most of the equipment that was purchased, has stopped working. We wouldreally like to succeed in a spot that hasn’t thus far. We are hoping to get some people out for the food, the amazing live music, the beer, wine and cocktails, so that we may be able to get all of us out on that gorgeous patio soon. We also would like the opportunity to express that we always had a vision of it being a live music/restaurant venue. The coffee became a bit of a staple, as it had been 14 years as a coffee shop previously. We have pivoted to a small amout of coffee selections since we no longer have the ability to have as many selections, to focus on the food and atmloaphere. We are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We have some solid service and chefs who work extremely hard, and are as passionate as I am about giving the community a fun space to visit. We would love to get the word out that it’s been a tough season and would like to rally for community support during the end of this winter season. I speak for myself, however? I know that it’s been the same for all of the businesses locally. Thank you for taking the time to read this and to pass it along!t
