MORNING BLEND at the
COLUMBIA MUSEUM OF ART
WEDNESDAYS
beginning THIS WEEK
MAY 20 - JUNE 24
We are back on Boyd Plaza at the Columbia Museum of Art on Wednesday mornings beginning May 20th. Kick-start your day with this Morning Blend Jazz series with bandleader Nicholas Vlandis and a lineup of rotating musicians along with a different DJ each week. This first week, we vibe to sets from DJ Preach Jacobs.
We will be serving up coffee, tea, and vegan breakfast options, and there will be a Drake’s Duck-In popup with options including their famous chicken biscuits.
Free to attend. Food and drink for purchase.
A grant from the Knight Foundation Fund at Central Carolina Community Foundation supports this project.
We have some news to share, and honestly, we're a little relieved to finally be saying it.
We've made the switch back to Square POS.
We gave Clover a real, honest college try - over a year of patience, workarounds, and hoping things would click into place. But at the end of the day, it just wasn't built for what we need, and we couldn't keep asking it (or you!) to make it work.
We know change comes with growing pains, and we are truly sorry for any headaches this transition may cause. PLEASE for the love of all things - bear with us . . . we promise it's worth it. We're already loving having a better-functioning system, a normal website experience, and more control over the things that matter most to how we serve you.
One important note: rewards and gift cards are being manually transferred (they really don't like to make it easy), and we have already taken care of every customer who has come in and added their email to our list. If you haven't yet, please do so on your next visit or email [email protected] and we'll get you sorted.
We know it's a rollercoaster and we hope you don't hop off. AGAIN, SORRY, please still love us.
