I popped in this morning the day after hearing about this new place from Rachel M. I've been trying to think of words to describe the decor and I'm going to go with Uniquely Fantastic Mid-Century Modern. Wow! This huge place has multiple couches, seating areas and multiple rooms, all full of incredible mid-century furnishings, lamps and tables with an older, darker style hidden in a back room. I'm not expert but I know uniquely fantastic when I see it!
Molly kindly served me Colombian espresso, locally roasted by Wuz Here roasters. They also offer a nice assortment of sourdough pastries so I picked up a strawberry pop-tart to try! I will let my nephew, who has been eating pop tarts every morning for months on the Appalachian Trail, know better ones are surely available here!
The coffee was perfectly smooth and enjoyable with no need for sugar or additives. I then walked around and took photos and video clips to share. It's like an incredible comfortable mid-century modern museum that has no entry fee!
I met Mick, the owner, who explained how, with this wife Ingrid, they created this amazing place. He runs a used furniture store and she runs a thrift shop specializing in albums in the same plaza!
Next I asked about the Atomic Cat and did more research on my own time. The symbol represented a futuristic, elegant hope for a modern present and more modern and amazing future! It apparently became popular when the mid-century modern style became popular and it's easy to see why. Look around the shop and see how many atomic cats you can find!
Life is good with an incredible new epic shop! read more
