Sustainable mug (aka, smug)
Posted by nathanael. Filed Under coffee | Leave a Comment
Apparently there was free breakfast grub this morning at Allston Café for early-risers (of which I am not).
Nature’s Path, North America’s leading organic cereal manufacturer, and Allston Café are partnering up to offer Boston residents a free breakfast and coffee. Nature’s Path is following its “Eat Well. Do Good.” mantra by providing local patrons with a free organic breakfast and a cup of coffee from Allston Café. The first 200 people in store on each day will receive a free small drink served in a sustainable mug, and a sample of Nature’s Path’s widely popular Pumpkin Flax Plus Granola.
So thanks for that Nature’s Path! Though to be honest I’m a wee confused about what kind of hippie organic food company you’ve got there, what with the mandating on-the-job drug testing. I prefer my crunchy-type-provisioners to be stem and seed friendly.

How many heaps of hatred can one little ice cream store take?

Two scoops? Herrell’s is converting into the Allston Cafe, and I’m enjoying the animosity projecting from those who hate either the idea or the dirty, dirty people who came up with it (conveniently ignoring the consensus dumping a teddy-bear’d chain concept is of course the dead-right thing for the community). Feel it burn in the boglo comments. Fun stuff.

Look at me. I’m wearing black. I’m so bloody hip. I saw the Cure once.
