I confess that I have a coffee habit. It’s easy to point fingers at my 1/4 Spanish/Cuban heritage - but let’s face it - I’m addicted. This is particularly true of really fine coffee. And Coffee Labs offers some of the best blends there are. Once you’ve tried it, there really is no going back.
Sometimes I go to Coffee Labs in the morning with Jade - my mellow Siberian Husky. For those of you who have read the antics of my two White Siberian Huskies, you know that I hav two females named Jade and Tundra. Tundra is my wild child and Jade is as relaxed and mellow as Tundra is exuberant. So Jade gets to accompany me to the coffee shop where I get a great cup of coffee, pull up a table and get to work researching the market and catching up with correspondence. It’s my way of getting out of the office and enjoy a change of pace - while still being able to get work done. There are quite a few regular morning patrons at Coffee Labs. Many sit just like me - working away at their laptops sharing the bandwidth. Julie Annello is one a customer who I took note of because she didn’t have a laptop. Instead, she had her sketch book. For several days Julie tried to get a nice sketch of Jade, but somehow - it never quite happened…until last Wednesday… It really captures the quiet calm of Jade and her retiring, gentle personality. Julie gave me her sketch which I scanned into my computer and here it is….direct from Coffee Labs…Jade in repose while her “Mom” is working on market stats.

Oh what a wonderful way to share "Bandwidth!" You live in a great community, and I LOVE this sketch!
Thanks Eleanor....I have been focussing so much on my "outside" blog that I haven't been in the rain nearly as much. There is a lot of "stuff" that you need to do - in spite of the fact that it is a tomato blog. It's starting to shape up though. How are things?
How lucky are you Ruthmarie! First to be able to live in New York, second to have fine coffee flowing nearby, thirdly being able to do all your market research in a coffee lab (such a cute name!), fourthly to able to take your furry friend with you and probably not finally, to be so fortunate to receive such a beautiful sketch! Truly a one of a kind!
Hi Al and Peggy,
Thanks for stopping by...I am very lucky. But I should qualify what "Coffee Labs" stands for. Its not a coffee laboratory. The owner - had a chocolate lab that loved coffee. Unfortunately, the dog in question passed away this spring. She was a sweatheart of a dog - and is much missed. Apparently she even liked black espresso....So it was named for her and their other lab. The concept of allowing dogs on the premises is unique to Coffee Labs and is result of its unique origins.
The names on the blends include several dog themes such as "Dog House Blend" and "Dog Pound Espresso."
Great idea for a coffee shop, wish we had one in our area, and so does my lab :)
It is a terrific idea - and the dogs LOVE IT!!!
