Funny story….. we had a tech come out to replace a simple part of our espresso machine annnnd it ended up being a more complicated part that may or may not arrive by the weekend. Damn fancy Italian machines!!! Our espresso machine’s name is Marge and we’re in mourning.

Sooooo while we are going stay open our normal hours for hot coffee, cold brew, teas, lemonade, & pastries, if you want espresso-based drinks, see our friends at antagonistcafe only a mile away in South Soulard.
