Add a Shot of Espresso

Comfy chairs, light music, the heavenly aroma of coffee – what better place for your next party than the neighborhood coffee café? Your friends will find conversation easy as they discuss the merits of mocha cappuccino, soy latte or frozen white chocolate frappé. Encourage your guests to choose baked goods from the food case. You’re picking up the food and drink tab, after all. And whatever the occasion, gifts are right at hand. Whole-bean coffee, French press coffee makers, mugs and tiny gift books are perfect mementos for the guest of honor. Now, regular or decaf?
