Pine Hill Celebration

I've been brainstorming about what can bring people in Mocha Giraffe on Pine Hill Day. Here's what I've come up with...

First of all, who doesn't love free stuff? Saturday only, we will be serving FREE frozen lattes. We will be featuring 3 different flavors...Mocha, Java Chip, and Caramel Latte. For those of you who don't like the taste of coffee, we will also have smoothies. And of course, we will lots of PAUL'S PASTRY!!

One of the things that makes Mocha Giraffe stand out among coffee drinkers is the coffee company we use. Jelks Coffee Company has been roasting coffee beans in Shreveport, LA since 1896. Customers seem to love the coffee...I know I do. The 12 ounce bags of Jelks coffee will be on sale for Pine Hill Day. There will be a table set up outside with the coffee and other sale items.

Art lovers will appreciate this next part. I've expressed my love for art and my desire to fill the walls with all kinds of art. If you're thinking of displaying your art in Mocha Giraffe, come take a look at what we already have at our first ever Art Walk. Who knows? You may find yourself inspired.

Regular customers already know the punch card system. You buy a drink, I punch your card, and after 9 purchases, you get the 10th drink free. Saturday only, we will be double punching cards. If you don't already have a card, stop by and get a drink, and you can start out with TWO holes in your card. Simple, right?!

So...summary. Free frozen lattes, sale items, art walk, double punched cards. Sounds like a winner to me.

I'm so excited about Pine Hill Day, and I'm preparing for a huge success! I hope to see you there!

Pine Hill Day!!!

Next weekend is Pine Hill Day, which is always a huge hit for downtown Wiggins. Read more about events and entertainment here: http://www.stonecounty.com/PineHillFestivalOverview.htm

Mocha Giraffe will be OPEN all day, so come see us! We will have sale items, half off lattes, and I'm sure I'll think of more fun specials as the day draws nearer. :)

Book Signing!

We are very pleased to be hosting a book signing this weekend for the authors of "The Longleaf and Me A-Z." Authors Sandra Cassibry, Jeffery Jones, and Kathryn Lewis will be signing their collaborative book this Saturday (March 20) from 12-2pm.

In celebration of this event, we will have half off lattes that day! So come by, buy a book, and drink a latte! We look forward to seeing you!

Also...We have new stock of Sandra Cassibry art. Trust me...it's good stuff. :)

New drinks and a spiffy new layout

If you haven't been by the Mocha Giraffe lately, you're missing out on some major changes! We're adding new drinks left and right...they're definitely worth a try! For instance, new on the shelf today is Creme de Menthe syrup that makes a pretty tasty latte. I know you're probably thinking, "Mint in my coffee? Yuck." BUT...hear me out...it's actually very good. Today I tried the Shamrock Mocha latte which is a chocolate and mint latte. I was doubtful, but I was pleasantly surprised. And with St Patty's day coming up, I smell a new drink of the day in the near future!

We are also featuring a new line of teas in our growing drink repertoire. The Republic of Tea Wellness line has a tea to promote skin clarity, weight loss, hair and nail growth, mood boosting, and even energy. Useful AND yummy! And at $2.50 a cup, you can feel even better about helping yourself.

You may notice upon visiting Mocha Giraffe that the layout has changed a little. We're adding merchandise, changing the arrangement of displays, and making the store feel more cozy. So far, the new layout has been met with positive reviews. But don't take my word for it...come see for yourself!

Hope to see you soon!
