Welcome to Dollie's Cyber Cafe!
It's quiet in here, but not too quiet. You can hear the music at the perfect volume, smell your favorite drink and snack being prepared for you as you make small-talk with your usual barista. You are surrounded by an ambience that seems so familiar and cozy; a faint smell of pacholli and some sort of flower that is just enough to be pleasant but not as overwhelming as the hippie shop you just scored your new tapestry from. You don't come here as often as maybe some of the other folks you see chugging their espresso-infused coffee drinks while surfing the web, yet it still feels like a home away from home. The pillow you see next to you looks so cool you think very seriously about swiping it in your oversized tote but then come to your senses and give yourself a grand excuse to go visit Pier 1 Imports, even if just to window shop. They call it a Global Village Coffeehouse and the vibe is perfect. So do enjoy your stay and remember, we're a cybercafe so we never close ;)
Stuff to Do...
Suggested to Order whilst reading: Coffee. Just black coffee. To get in the mooood. Or if you aren't so keen on that...it's cocoa season! And a crossont.
And just like that, the holidays are among us. This month, we've just got our copies of Cameron Crowe's "The Uncool". Let's read and discuss! From the man who brought us Almost Famous (amongst many other smash-hits at the box office...AF was not one of 'em, but we've built it up into the cult classic that it is so: good for us!) we finally get his autobiography. I will be posting more extensively about it when I've finished but for now let's just chill and enjoy. Temps are plummetting around these parts to historic lows so what better time than to get cozy with a good book and a warm drink?
Homemade Ornaments make the perfect gifts, especially ones you can keep year-round. At the cafe we have 4 mini trees to decorate! So you're sure to find a style of decoration that is perfect.
Click the images to see how I made these ornaments!
The Mix CD
Enjoy Dollie's Coffeehouse Mix, updated regularly with nostalgic hits and a few forgotten gems.
It's the craft-craftiest season of allll! Well, at the cafe, anyway. And perhaps for some of you out there. We thank you for your patience as we start slowly decorating the joint for the holidays. You see, with four different trees we have a lot to do to satisfy all of our christmas fantasy aesthetics. They are all classic/vintage rooted, with incandesent lights and homemade ornaments. In fact, we've finished two of the four tutorials! They will be in the blog section shortly but for now you can follow along with these short videos...
