The Eve of Coffee Day

no weekend plans? get an early start celebrating coffee day at homer's. tomorrow, coffee drinkers around the world will be sipping their favorite beverage... COFFEE! remember, everyone who reads this blog also gets closer to a free drink.

Mystery Muffler

it's been six days since we discovered a mystery muffler in front of homer's. i predicted that it would "become part of an art display" and now it's hanging from a tree. maybe it will begin migrating like a traveling garden gnome.

Lost and Found

usually when someone forgets something at homer's it's a pair of gloves or a notebook. last week somebody lost a muffler. now i understand how absent minded we all get when we're talking and put something down and then forget about it... but seriously... anybody? anyone? bueller? it may become part of an art display if the owner doesn't claim it soon.

Today's Specials

today at the 80th street homer's you can get a double espresso or a 16 oz. coffee for one dollar! why are we doing this? it's all part of homer's joining other coffeehouses, cafés, and restaurants to celebrate specialty coffee week. follow us on twitter, facebook, or here for daily specials. and don't forget about double punches!

Coffee Joke #1

can't believe we haven't done this already, but here's the FIRST coffee joke:
Q: what did the coffee say to the filter?
A: you're putting a strain on our relationship

Caffeinate!

there are alot of doctor who geeks at homer's who will get the joke on this tee. i'll admit it, i'm one of them. and if i don't buy this t-shirt, one of them will.

Art @ Homer's

sometimes customers ask "how can i get my artwork displayed at homer's?" i usually refer them to one of the managers. although if you are an artist who just happens to work at homer's, you kind of have an inside track. this month's artist is kelly dooley. she works the opening shift at homer's and knows most of her customers by name.

Bacon Flavored Coffee

brace yourselves. the next couple of sentences may change your life. if you don't have time to drink coffee AND eat bacon on a daily basis, that is no longer a problem. thanks to a winning entry in the iowa state fair you can down both things in one gulp. here's the story of one woman's goal to combine two breakfast staples into one morning-tastic drink.
