Making Biscotti

three spoons' Almond Biscotti - $2.50 each

The View - Inside and Out

It rained most of last week but in between the few showers we managed to take a few snaps of the place. Our bright orange umbrellas was donated to us by the local Concord West Pub (on the corner of Victoria Ave and Queen St) and it has definately helped in attracting a few customers.

We're trying to make an effort to change the artwork in the cafe each month, so for June, new paintings by Louis Ricaud was hung recently to liven up the place.

Bits and Pieces - Setting Up

Setting up three spoons took about a week of cleaning, organising, debating about what goes where and running on little to no sleep for 7 days straight.

three spoons have officially opened!

It has been exactly 3 weeks since three spoons opened the doors and despite the lack of sleep, anxiety, stress, bickering and various unexpected problems we were faced with, it has been a great experience and so much more than we had hoped and anticipated for. The support from the local businesses and our regular customers (yay! we have a few already!) have been wonderful and our friends have been coming in every week filling up the place!

There were several problems that started the week before we opened and they just piled right up till the night before we opened! The list of problems we had include our:

* coffee machine
* coffee grinder
* fridges
* lighting
* electricity
* gas
* garbage
* stove
* grill
* toilet

So what we've learnt is that there really is no such thing as being OVERPREPARED and the only thing we can really do is expect the unexpected! Tiredness is overtaking us at this hour, so just come visit us and check out the place for yourself!

Sign, Sealed, Delivered!

three spoons is...

OPENING very,

very, SOON!
