Special hours on July 16

We spent all of our print budget on the new menus.

The engineer/producer for this program (guy on the left) proved once again that he cannot talk and engineer at the same time. He/I botched the audio several times so FFWD through those if you can.

They've got the runs at Dunkin' Donuts. Or something like that.

Dunkin' Donuts today unveiled a new Web site, Dunkin' Run, along with an iPhone application, designed to help customers solicit and submit group orders online [Computer World]. Here's how it works:

"The person making the java run can initiate a group order at her company using a PC, a mobile device or the new iPhone app. Alerts are sent to the runner's list of co-workers or friends informing them that a run is going to be made and that they can place their order online. The runner then can print out the page and take it to the store, or she can bring the page to the local Dunkin' Donuts on her mobile device."

We like our tech here at the Coffee Zone and commend the folks at Dunkin' Donuts for getting all geeky but if you get more than four takers, how do you get the coffee back to the office. And if you only have 3 or 4 takers, wouldn't a post-it note work just as well?

Maybe we need an iPhone app here at the Zone. Stay tuned.

The new kitchen is open!

New Coffee Zone Menu

We've been handing out the new Yanis Coffee Zone menu for several days now but if you haven't picked up a copy --or want to forward to an out-of-town friend-- here's what's cooking (and brewing):

• Mediterranean Breakfasts
• Mediterranean Pizza and Specialties
• Mediterranean Side Dishes and Salads
• Mediterranean Sandwiches
• Drinks, Munchies and Sweets

The comments are open on each of the menu pages and we welcome your reviews of dishes and drinks --new and old.

New menu coming June 22

The highly anticipated roll-out of the new menu here at the Coffee Zone is less than a month away. June 22nd is the big day and we hope you'll be here to sample some of the new dishes.

Hours will remain basically the same with the addition of a Friday evening seating. We'll be open until 8:30 p.m. on Friday.

Wish we could give you a peek at the new menu but June 22nd will be here before you know it.

It wasn't us

In a bold stroke of marketing and art, someone painted a 50 foot high mural of Coffee Zone owner Taisir Yanis on the side of building in downtown Jefferson City over the weekend. Owners of the building have offered a reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible. But it's not a very big reward so...
