Coffee shops may now be going the way of the local ice cream parlor, offering a treat ever now and again to those that have the taste for such a drink. The always fashionable tea is creeping back in as the choice for a nice chat, and the much more healthy smoothies made of fresh fruits and other more natural ingredients quietly becoming the specialty. It is easy to find a coffee shop, however it is tough to find a nice quiet tea spot with specialty tea.
Caffe E Via does a great job of being an everything stop, offering the convenience of a drive through for those that need their drinks to go and offering a nice bar and sitting area with chairs and tables offering enough room for everyone to relax and enjoy their cup of whatever their taste may be.
Coffee shops with all their new more specialized offerings may be the new small jazz club of the present day, allowing local artists to perform their music for patrons and friends while bringing business to the local community.
Being new to the genre of Coffee house music I can say that the entire experience was filled with learning. Though good acoustics are rare amongst coffee joints, especially those here in the central valley, Ryan Barnes did a wonderful job presenting his particular taste for music for others to enjoy. His music included fresh new compositions with a healthy blend of folk style music, bringing me to laughter when acceptable and be lost in the music at other times. If you would like to read more about Ryan or hire him for your event please feel free to contact him, his information can be found here.
