Portrait of a Spoonie

Or shall we say, "THE Spoonie"?  So you guys can put a face with a name, here I am, as photographed by Kate Mefford of Juxtapose Photography.  We wanted to get some shots that were authentic to Spoons, using the old location and the new, and we had a blast doing it!  Here I am...

...in the new location, hanging out against the coolest wall EVER, soon to be filled with the coolest pictures EVER!

Outsideblu

The awnings are scheduled to go up around the 1st part of July and the outside look will really start taking shape.  I have a lot of heard a lot of excitement about us adding some organic options to our menu.  If you have any special requests, let me know.  I am headed to the TRA show tomorrow and Monday, which is the big restaurant show in Dallas and will be looking for some new ideas to add when we move. 

Construction is moving along, never fast enough for me, but what else in new.  Always, always, thank you for your support and encouragement…stay tuned for more pictures and more fun!

Spoons As We Know It...

Just looking around the current cafe makes me so excited for the future.  There are so many neat pieces to our Spoonie puzzle that make this place feel like home.  As we shift spots around the square, we hope to take some of these images (and/or others) to our new location to remind you of our former home...
