What's a Square Bean? Part I
Just what is a Square Bean? We'll you have probably guessed (or been told) the play on words (we sell coffee BEANS and we are on the town SQUARE so...) but maybe you haven't thought about what REALLY makes Square Beans Coffee Company so special. In the next few blogs, I hope to enlighten existing customers and inspire new ones to discover or rediscover an experience that we think is pretty special.
What is it that a lcoal coffee shop really has to offer? Sure we exist to sell coffee and support our family but I truely believe that our real business is making people happy. Thats it. Just a little something to perk up your day, stimulate your senses and maybe your mind.
Sometimes, you just want to grab a fresh brewed black coffee or a skinny vanilla latte on the way to work in the morning and thats OK too.
But it's also about that little luxury that blurs the line of needing and wanting. It's about the coffee shop atmosphere.
The smell of fresh baked oatmeal cookies (nothing like it), the warmth of the fireplace (ok its electric but it looks like the real thing and does give of some heat). It's Kelli smile behind the counter as she whips up your own special concoction known only to you and her. It's Fresh chocolate filled belgian croissants, a hearty homemade quiche, Shelby's lemon poppy seed muffins drizzled with vanilla icing or a juicy slice of Sugaree's strawberry cake. It's coffee grinding and milk frothing in the background mixed with sweet jazz music. It's folks plugging in their laptops and enjoying free WIFI with their cappucino.
It's a place to get away from home or the office for a while. It's a place to go alone and read in an a big overstuffed leather chair by the window (in the glow of a leg lamp of course! - It's a major prize you know!) Maybe with a mocha or chai. It's a place to meet friends, coworkers, business associates, family maybe even a date.
It's fun and relaxing and you may actualy meet some one new. Yes. Real live face to face interaction! You just cant have the same experience over email, iPhone or facebook. visiting over a cup of well made coffee beats them all hands down.
So yes, Square Beans does sell great coffee but don't miss the point of what it really means to be a Square Bean.

The Harrell Theatre Presents: To Kill A Mockingbird
From the 1960’s novel by Harper Lee, this drama is a change of direction from our more familiar musical productions for which we have become known and for which we have garnered recent Ostrander Awards.
Set in a time period most people have only read about, this theme will be enlightening to produce. In Maycomb, Alabama in 1935, a young Scout Finch lives with her father, Atticus Finch, an attorney, and her older brother Jem. Things become tumultuous in Maycomb as Tom Robinson, a black man, is accused of raping a white woman, Mayella. Atticus is asked to represent him and accepts, knowing that that decision will likely make him and his family unpopular in town. Meanwhile Scout, Jem and a summer friend, Dill, quickly forge a bond over one of the neighborhood legends –Boo Radley. Jem and Scout have never seen Boo, though they’ve grown up hearing about him and his captivity in a house down the street. The children become obsessed with the idea of making Boo Radley come out.
As the trial moves ahead, the town’s emotions run high, mobs gather and friendships are tried. The trial begins, and it becomes clear that Tom could not have raped Mayella. However, the jury is made up of all white males, and they convict Tom. With the conviction comes more heartache for the town as innocents are sacrificed and children learn about the harsh realities of the world. To Kill a Mockingbird tells the story of one battle against prejudice that will forever change the lives of those in the town.
Opens February 19 and runs through March 1. Thursday-Saturday nights 8p, Saturday matinee on the 21st at 2:30p and Sunday matinees at 2:30p. Student, family and group discounts available! Call the Harrell Theatre 853-3228 at 440 West Powell Rd in Collierville for tickets or go to the website: www.harrelltheatre.com .
