CdA Gets New Coffee House Hangout

Caleb Duke and his wife Nicole named their coffee shop Grumpy Monkey to stand out a bit from other shops, and of course to give people something to laugh about when they came in. "We just kind of liked the idea," Caleb says. "It's hard to say something like that without cracking a little bit of a smile." Their toddler daughter, Lila Belle, who the couple calls their "little monkey," also inspired the name. Her name is even on one of the coffee blends. The Lila Belle blend is always on hand, along with a couple of other rotating blends, such as single origin coffees from Guatemala or Kenya, or a French roast/Jo Miller, Inlander. More here.

Question: Have you tried the new Grumpy Monkey (4th & I-90)?
