Well friends, I have some news today.
As some of you know our coffee maker suddenly stopped working last week after almost 3 years of consistent use. I looked up the solution and today followed the directions only to find out, that's not what was wrong βΉοΈ
So, the issue is bigger than the simple fix. We have to make a decision. Keep coffee as an option or get rid of it all together? If we keep it I'll have to buy a new machine. If we get rid of it all together we are also saying goodbye to quick hot tea and quick hot cocoa (we could still warm up water in the microwave realistically or I could bring a tea pot in and we could boil water for that).
To be totally honest, I've been struggling with what to do for drinks for a while. We are a bakery first and foremost that has basic coffee available. Yes we sell hot or iced coffee here and there, but sometimes we go days without selling a single cup.
So, what would YOU our customers like to see for drink options?
No drinks made at the store and only drinks that are already canned? Like what we carry, but maybe a more extensive offering. Bubbl'r, soda, Gatorade or Powerade, we could get other offerings that you would want to purchase.
Made drinks at the store like smoothies, frappes, etc?
Or should we go a different route and offer some other options?
Drop your comments and suggestions below! This decision will probably take me a bit to decide. So for now, the coffee is not available, unless it magically just works again one day π€·ββοΈ
