Java University?
Local brewru (see what we did there?) and Mudhouse Director of Operations Dan Pabst took his coffee smarts to the street last week, opening up a “coffee education popup” near the Saturday City Market. Pabst says the idea was borne out of at-home lessons he’d been giving his friends on brewing a great cup of coffee. “I thought, ‘We should take this to the next level,’” he says.
Pabst will brew two different coffees each week for “students.” Buy a custom-printed mug for $2, enjoy a cup of hot joe, then return the cup and get your $2 back (or take the mug home and leave your two bucks). Pabst says his low-key event isn’t about making money, “it’s more about creating a sort of coffee community.”
The event, which runs Saturday mornings near the Market at the Pink Building, runs from 7am-noon.
Laboring lemon
Downtown cupcake spot Cappellino’s Crazy Cakes made national news last week after word got out that the shop’s Lemon Drop Cupcake supposedly helps induce labor for overdue moms. At the time of the reports—from CBS19, “Good Morning America” and “FOX & Friends”—19 “Lemon Drop babies” had been born. As of press time, the count had risen to 23. Says the shop’s Twitter feed, “Go Lemon Drop!!!!”
