We simply stamp your passport and you get the savings!

Wow what an awesome weekend! Hula hoops, pancakes, our featured artists’ gorgeous photographs, and so many sweet people.. We’ve been busy with all kinds of fun and interesting community events.

It all started Thursday evening with Greenbridge’s Neighborhood Night where we served up iced cold brewed coffee & orange bl…ossom iced tea to the neighbors right outside our doors who were having fun hula hooping it up, learning how to cha-cha-cha, and enjoying the warm summer evening in each other’s company.

Saturday morning was the Kiwanis’ Pancake Breakfast, and according to the over 100 cups of coffee and 50 cups of decaf we served up, it was a smashing success! Thanks to everyone who came out for it, and to Stumptown for generously donating some beans to us when they found out we were supporting this worthwhile event.

That same evening was Anne & Todd Jennings’ artist reception here at Dubsea Coffee. What a great turnout for some fabulous photos and really wonderful people. If you haven’t seen their work yet, stop in and take a look, showing through August 14th!

No wonder we love our community ♥  For photos go to our Facebook albums.
