Owner Cynthia Barrett enlists the help of her family in running her friendly, welcoming coffee shops, where full menus of organic, fair-trade Arabica coffee, homemade soups, and all-day breakfast join fresh-made meals. A sprawling collection of drinks floats innovative twists on coffee classics. Breakfast sandwiches and platters come filled with morning favorites, such as a selection of bacon, ham, sausage, or sliced sunshine in the egg-and-cheese bagel sandwich ($3.59), and the vegetarian breakfast scramble filled with a piping-hot medley of egg, peppers, onions and hash browns adorned with melted cheddar and a flaky side of just-woken toast ($3.99).
Every day, a creamy and a broth-based soup are ladled into awaiting bowls, and at least one is vegetarian and one aspires to run away from home to start a band. Soup or salad accompanies every sandwich ($6.99 for a smaller portion; $7.99 for a whole portion). The classic BLT and the turkey-cheddar melt satisfy plates that only host layered foods, and homemade croutons speckle the garden salad ($2.59 for a side portion; $3.99 for entree size), in which a canopy of greens bursts with red tomatoes and cheese. The Hamburg location occasionally hauls out its hosting shirt to welcome live entertainment in the dining room.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: What Makes a TV?
Enjoying television is as patriotic as knitting an apple pie or eating American flags. Here's a look at some of the components that make up these high-tech picture boxes:
• Glass: A high-end TV has a glass screen that when turned off (not recommended) will reflect your image. When turned on, it will reflect how awesome TV is.
• Cathode Ray Tube: No longer needed for modern TVs to work, but manufacturers still put one in every set just for old times' sake.
• Gold: TV signals, like men's hearts, are lustily attracted to gold, causing them to fly out of the sky into the gold brick in the back of every TV.
• A Couple of Horse Bones: 'Cause why not, right?
• Wires: They hook up to the wired helmets that all the actors wear to beam their acting into your TV.
• An Eternal Flame: To honor the former TV stars who have died.
• Tiny Fire Extinguisher: In case the eternal flame gets out of control.
• IBM PetaFlop SuperComputer: Guesses when you want to change the channel, lower the volume, etc., all to cover up the fact that the remote control doesn't do anything.
• Martin Sheen: He's gotta live somewhere.
