Located conveniently on the Collierville square, Square Beans features decadent coffees, sandwiches, and an array of delicious desserts.

Love is Golden

Few things speak the language of love better than a song. On Saturday, February 14, bring your Valentine to Square Beans Coffee Company, from 2-4, for a latte and a live musical performance by Donna Wolf.

The cleverly named, Square Beans, is located on Collierville's Town Square and features a wide assortment of decadent coffees and desserts. The cozy ambiance along with the soothing strings of Donna Wolf's violin, make it the perfect place to spend Valentine's Day. Even sweeter than the menu's strawberry cake, is that Donna is donating any concert proceeds to the Memphis Area Golden Retriever Rescue. [MAGRR]

Apart from being a skilled violinist, Donna Wolf completes a loving circle of twenty foster families for MAGRR, a non-profit organization responsible for the rescue of more than 850 Golden Retrievers since their establishment in 2001. Donna hopes her performance at Square Beans will bring in donations to support the veterinary care of these abandoned and abused animals brought in from areas of Tennessee, Arkansas, and Mississippi. While the frothy blend of cappuccino and musical romance is certainly a good reason to visit Square Beans on Valentine's Day, Donna's audience can delight in the fact that her performance truly comes from the heart.

If you would like to learn more about Memphis Area Golden Retriever Rescue visit www.magrr.org .
