robin: Is PHOB moving?

NJ open mics: Pratt's in EHT has always been the location for lots of music in EHT

Amissa: Hi all. If we fall, we don't need self-recrimination or blame or anger - we need a reawakening of our intention and a willingness to recommit, to be whole-hearted once again.I am from Barbados and also now am reading in English, give please true I wrote the following sentence: "Airline tickets for for the best discount airline tickets and cheap holiday packages cheap flights and discount airline tickets for travel on all."Thank you very much :). Amissa.

Trenton: Could you help me. I never vote for anyone; I always vote against.I am from Benin and now teach English, give true I wrote the following sentence: "Get the airline tickets, cheap flights, cheap travel widget on widgetbox."8-) Thanks in advance. Trenton.

Jonathan: I do have one more thing that I would like to see at the shop. Power outlets that the customers can use. I'm here reading this fine blog , but my laptop power is low. The improvements that have been made so far are awesome. I really like that the couches have been moved, and the new pastries are good. Keep it up.

conny: I like the shop-it has a real city chic appeal. I think you could make a coffee corner lounge section for those who like to sit back and relax after commuting to work in Atlantic City. I am from the suburbs so I look for the industrial loft look to escape from the subhurbs. I really enjoyedthe bear claw pastry and cafe mocha !!! The staff who waited on me were very helpful and friendly. I hope to see some merchandise with your logo next time because my last name is Pratt, too.

Jonathan: I really like the shop, and I go there often. The only thing that I can say I would like to see is more comfort. the place is pretty industrial feeling right now. I would like to see a couple of comfortable chairs in the corner of the "quote" wall and the far wall with a side table in the corner and another couch or 2 somewhere in the middle of the floor. I do love "the wall" and I'm glad you have free Wi-Fi. Everyone is friendly and I have fun there.

Stacy: It sounds like you asked for two espressos thinking that you were asking for two cups of coffee. If you go to a coffee house, cafe, or espresso bar and ask for an espresso, what you will get is a shot-sized glass holding a small amount of very strong coffee. These are usually ordered to be consumed right there and they are served in very small cups. If your order was for two espresso's "to go", then what you received in each take out cup was a 1-1/2 ounce shot of espresso. If you ordered flavo

Jeffrey: I just got a cup of coffee to go, and when I got home to drink it, it was honestly the most expensive thing I have ever paid for, for one gulp and I am not even joking, there was honestly barly anything in my cup it wasn't even half full. Can someone please answer me and tell me if the person who made it didn't know what she was doing, or did I just spend 3 bucks are 2 little cups of coffee when I could have went to WAWA and got two 24oz coffees for the same PRICE! please someone comment on this

GK: happy new year..care to exchange link?if so let me know so I can add your link to my blog

So much has happened!

We have been opened almost three months and so much has happened! I really don't know where to begin. I think the thing that makes the biggest difference in our operation is our roaster's arrival.

I flew out to Oklahoma to check out our roaster and had the chance to roast a few batches. It was exciting and scary! Its a pretty big machine! I mean, not by industrial standards, but to me its pretty big. Be sure to check our photo album for pictures of it. The roaster will help us in a number of ways: having our own beans available on site makes it very convenient and cost-effective; we'll be able to sell bagged whole beans in our store (finally!); we'll be able to offer a larger variety compared to what we have now, and some other great things we're working on.

Every week, we feature Psychic Readings with Donna Jean. Sometimes things come up in her schedule, so its a good idea to call ahead or make an appointment. You can call the storee 609-407-9500. Walk is are welcome, of course! Another wonderful addition to our store is a band playing every Friday night: The Jack Chamberlain Band. They are a great group of guys and we love having them here. There is nothing like listening to live music and enjoying a good cuppa.

We've also discussed hosting speed dating, scrabble tournaments, children's story time, art exhibits and other events that we hope our customers will enjoy. If anyone has any suggestions for events that might be of interest, just send me an email!

Anne, your shop sounds like a great place to hang out and connect with people. I wish I were close enough to do that. May it only get better and better from now on!

My friend and I always have our business meeting here every Friday afternoons. I love this place. Not only is it close to home, but i love coffee, the atmosphere is awesome and they make great coffee. I wish I could help upgrade your website. I'd love to see a shopping cart on there selling your coffee! Right now, i buy coffee from Wawa's, Borgata and Starbucks. i want to add PHOB to my list of coffee's that i can drink at home late at night! :)

Hi, Hiro! Thanks so much for your feedback! We are working on getting our roasting operation up and running. Our roaster is set up in our tea room. Once we are all set (by end of May), we will be selling beans online and in the store. I'd welcome any feedback you have about our site!
