It is always hard to predict what a 'typical' day at the cafe will look like. Part of the joy in being in this line of work is the constant unexpected treats as well our fantastic regular customers. More on them will come later (Coke Guy and his Doppelganger, you have been warned!) but today was like any other day in that it was wonderful and different and busy and fun.
We had quite a few of our lovely regulars (Alice, Coke Guy and his lovely wife, Office Guys, Stacey) as well as our lovely friends Yen and Nick from Chin-Azzaro and a wonderfully engaging group of food and travel writers on a trip sponsored by the Ann Arbor Area Convention and Visitors Bureau. There is little we enjoy more than talking about food (and wine) and our visitors were well informed, inquisitive and charming.
A few pictures of the day to give you a feel for our atypical 'typical' day:
