Summer break is over. We loved the sun, the beach and our personal massive move and home renovation project but time to pack away the tent, fire up the espresso machine and head back to the café. Starting tomorrow, we will be resuming our regular school year hours.
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!

Every Thursday night at 9:00PM, the Green Bean Café hosts Open Mic night.
Open Mic Night is an all ages event and we have all kinds of people perform. There are musicians and poets, seasoned performers and people who set foot on a stage for the first time.
Some nights we have a pretty long list of people who would like to perform, so be sure to get here early if you want to guarantee yourself a chance to perform. Depending on the turnout, we may not be able to accommodate everyone, so show up early.
Interested in spreading the word or trying to figure out a slick way to invite your friends to see you perform? Come by the café and we can get you a copy of our poster that you can put up in your dorm, facility building or use a few stitched together to form a trendy and biodegradable jacket.
If Facebook is your thing, there is also a Facebook event that you can add yourself to to get updates on this and other events. Speaking of Facebook, we also have a fan page.
Get practising!
