Things Are Looking Up(stairs)

As many of you know, the children's area at Hartford is wildly popular. The original concept of the play area was to have an inviting environment for the parents, children and families of our neighborhood. James and I both believed that too often, families are not considered part of the greater community and very few accommodations are made for them. Hence, the play area. It gets a lot of use and it has afforded countless parents to enjoy a cuppa with their kids close by.

Adults without kids sometimes get the short end of the stick when the cafe is busy. In response, we'll soon be offering an adults only area upstairs. For lack of a better term, we're calling it the Java Lounge at this time. Hopefully, it'll be ready to go within a week.

If you have any books or magazines you'd like to share, please drop 'em by Hartford Coffee so we can have a nice lending library in the Java Lounge. Other features will be comfortable seating, limited tables and chairs and Tah-Dah! no kids!

Anything else you'd like to see in the non-play area? Send me an email.
