The Green Bean will be closed on Saturday, December 17, 2011 and will reopen on Tuesday, January 3, 2012. 

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and hope that everyone has a fun, safe and restful Christmas season.

See you in 2012!

It’s hard to believe that today (April 20) is the end of our second school year. As the school season changes, so come changes in our hours at the Green Bean. Like last year, we are adjusting our hours slightly to adjust along with the changing schedules of our customers. In addition we are going to be taking advantage of some down time by giving our hard working staff (and us!) a few well earned days off.

To that end, here are our hours over the next few months.

We hope everyone has a relaxing and productive reading week! Our regular hours resume on Monday, February 28 at 8:00 AM.

Ok, this may not be the biggest news story today, but we think they turned out nice and we thought you might like them to. So, if you want one, come and take one. Or take a bunch and give them to all your friends.

We will reopen for business on Monday, January 3 at 8:00 AM.

Have a great Christmas break and see you in 2011!

We’re super excited about the fall and hoping to see everybody and hear about your summer vacations.

In the meantime, I’ll toss this out your way and let you know that next week (Sept 6 – 11) will be the Green Bean’s one year anniversary and we will be celebrating in style. Stay tuned for our party plans…

From http://downtownfarmersmarket.ca:

The Downtown Windsor Farmers’ Market is a not-for-profit, volunteer-run organization that connects residents of Windsor and surrounding areas to the farmers of Essex County by providing residents with local, fresh and in-season food in an accessible setting. We aim to raise the profile of local food producers and entrepreneurs by giving them a venue in which to sell their goods, while educating the public about the rich agricultural diversity that exists in Essex County.  Through partnerships we work to build a stronger sense of community, restore the positive image of downtown and bring vitality back to our city.

Green Bean Café is happy to announce that we will be at the Downtown Windsor Farmer’s Market every Saturday morning in June from 8AM to 1PM. Last week was our first week and we had a great time meeting new people, chatting with other vendors and enjoying a beautiful summer morning. There were tons of vendors there this past Saturday and a constant crowd of people from 8AM on.

The market is located at the old downtown bus station at 44 University Ave. East and you can find all kinds of other information at the Downtown Windsor Farmer’s Market website. Hope to see you there!
