Hello TSD fam! I have an exciting update I have been looking forward to sharing with you for a while: we now have the option for you to purchase beans by the ounce in your own reusable container!

We have a few styles of Le Parfait jars that are really affordable but you can obviously use whatever you want, including just a regular ole jar. I first got a Le Parfait jar at Zanzibarā€™s Coffee Adventure probably 15 years ago and still use it to this day!

The beans we will have available for bulk purchase are our house blend also known as Windmill Coffee Roastersā€™s 80/35 blend.

As a coffee shop it can be really hard to control our waste, especially as we try our best to keep our diverse clientele in mind. We are always looking for to tweak our operationā€”sometimes customer facing, sometimes behind the scenes. We are so excited to take this step in being a more sustainable business!

You know we love a good book around hereā€”itā€™s one of our favorite ways to slow down. For the next month we asked every staff member to choose a book they would enjoy sharing with others. Books are such a great way to connect and learn about the world!

For fun, we are going to make this a friendly competition! For the top 2 best sellers in sales at the end of 4 weeks, TSD will donate $150 to an organization of the 2 winnerā€™s choices.

Absolutely no pressure to purchase anything, we just want to chat about books.

Happy fall reading! šŸ‚
