Hey Everybody!! We’re gearing up for the next Throwdown and things have changed a bit this month! Our friends at Tandem Coffee Roasters have offered up their space for a little change of scenery. They will be opening their doors for practice time at 8pm and the competition will start at 9pm. $5 entrance fee for competitors will still be benefiting Coffee Kids. There will be a few changes though..
ATTENTION COMPETITORS: New place means new rules. Everyone will be pouring ROSETTAS into 12 oz cups. If you are a little rusty make sure you spend the next week practicing!
Stay tuned for info on who will be judging you this month…

It’s the end of Winter, Spring is coming, but we really can’t wait for SUMMER. On March 28th, we are going to pretend that we are all far away in the islands and not in this gray, kind of snowy, mostly muddy, town. Bring your Hawaiian shirts, your Mai Tai mix, and get ready for a luau!
You know the drill, 8pm doors open, 9pm competition starts.
Now get to practicing!!
