SPECIALS (in anticipation of Apple Day on Sunday!)
today’s the day—the manager’s deadline for getting proper hair restraints according to DOH rules. since we’re a primarily female staff, we’ve been sending around links to tricks for concealing (er, restraining) our beautiful hair and still looking cute. ha ha. (we may or may not be setting up a vanity in the office complete with a curling iron and straightener for after-shift fixes.) thanks to australia’s super kawaii mama for her super informative video explaining different ways to tie a head scarf. y’all won’t be seeing our lovely locks anymore, but don’t worry, we’re still cute.
This is a little overdue, I’m sorry—but do understand we weren’t in the know of this “Tumblr” thing four months ago when we were wondering “hmm what to do about this web site dilemma?” I think a lil explanation is needed for just why our iced coffee might be the best on the LES. Two reasons. First: FILTRON. No, FILTRON is not a super robot that can instantly cool down coffee with the beam of a laser (though that might be cool). Filtron is this kind of ugly contraption that our friends at Irving Farm told us about in April. We keep it in our office (in the depths of the store) that cold-brews coffee overnight. Magic. It takes a LOT of coffee to make our iced coffee that rich, chocolatey goodness that it is. Enough coffee to fill this giant filter (pictured below)—a filter big enough to make a skirt (that girl who made her prom dress out of coffee filters would LOVE it.)
Here’s Tim, modeling the filter skirt. Isn’t he so sassy?

So FILTRON, check. What’s the second reason? Iced cubes made with coffee. You know, so your iced coffee doesn’t get watered down. Good to the very last drop.
It’s been years since I’ve been handed a piece of paper with a “A” on it, and damn, it feels good. How long can I boast it in the front door before it gets obnoxious? 
A shout out to the inspector who pulled out his stack of yellow closed signs before putting them back and taking out our real grade. You’re hilarious. Ha ha ha.
