Whew! What a crazy couple of days. Thanks to everyone who came out to say hi. We are all settling in to the new space and reorienting ourselves with the new setup.
So we have had a lot of questions and we want to address them so you hear it directly from us instead of the inevitable game of telephone.
-We will begin our Wine and Beer program sometime in January. There is a lot of wine knowledge within the organization that we are excited to unleash that onto the world. The beers you’ll find at Hansa will be unlike anything readily available. We even have a local brewery working on something special with our coffee.
-Food!!! Like wine, we have a huge amount of culinary experience waiting to be unleashed. We are working through the menu right now and that should be on its way in a similar timeframe.
When we bring new staff into Hansa, one of the first things we tell them is this: “You never know what someone is going through in their lives. It may seem silly, but sometimes you are the best part of someone’s day. You need to cognizant of that fact and realize that as much as people are relying on you for their cup of coffee, they are counting on you being kind and welcoming.”
When you step into one of our stores, we truly want you to feel at home and comfortable. For us, the coffee shop is a sacred space. We protect it. For you, and our staff. We want to thank you all for being so kind in return and we want to wish everyone a Happy Holiday season.
