Greetings!
Looks like Autumn has arisen along with the full moon! What spectacular weather we've been having. People are really taking advantage of the porch tables and coffee bar here at the cafe, enjoying the sunshine.
Over 300 people joined us for the don Miguel Ruiz event last Sunday evening. It was such a huge, diverse group of people who came out to hear about The Four Agreements and The Five Levels of Attachment (during the Raven's home opener even!).

Honest Tea co-founder Seth Goldman

Next Saturday we'll be hosting Seth Goldman, one of the founders of Honest Tea, here in the cafe! Seth's new book is called Mission in a Bottle: The Honest Guide to doing Business Differently - and Succeeding.
This is a very cool, illustrated guide to how they took Honest Tea from an idea to one of the best selling drinks in the US. The book is not only an inspirational tale of two guys and their passion for tea, it's also an honest and savvy business guide which ALL entrepreneurs and people thinking about starting a business MUST read! 
Seth will serve up some free samples of Honest Tea, and talk about their mission and the book. The event is a 5 pm - 6:30 on Saturday, September 28.
You will find the rest of September and October events below! We hope you will come by and attend an event, savor the great food, and spend some time just enjoying life. We have a new menu page on the web site so you can get an idea of all the goodies we have! And remember -- we are a bookstore too! Lots of new titles arriving for the Fall so come in and browse. And our used book section has new treasures added to it all the time.
See you soon!
Love,
Susan
