Successful Event Behind Us And Week 3 On Our New Spot

Soccer Stars In The Making

Last weekend we were contracted by Heart 104.9 FM for a soccer day event. We weren’t expecting it at all, they surprised us both by calling last minute – we didn’t hesitate and snatched up the opportunity. It all went very smoothly and we were received very well by all who attended, coffees were flying and so were our fresh pancakes, banana caramel was a winner with the sweet toothed crowd and we were flipping pancakes as fast as they could eat them. We didn’t really know what we were in for and weren’t expecting much from this one but it all turned out to be a fun filled soccer fest of a day.

Celebrities of all sorts were there too, like soccer players from Santos and other clubs, some foreign soccer players, T.V personalities and idols people. Don’t ask me to name them because I really, really  have no clue as to who they were. We were serving celebrities and we didn’t even know it hahaha. Michelle had a fat chat with the guy from Top Billing and only found out afterward it was a shleb lol. Anyhow, it was a good event and we did well.

The only negative thing about the event was the wind. Damn! It blew hard, it actually blew our stretch tent poles right through our tent L leaving two gaping holes in it. Cups and coffee pots also found themselves doing involuntary flips off of the table and not to mention the sugar tubes and stirrers going awol with every gust. If you were to look at us from a distance it would have been a mixture of serving people, flipping pancakes and catching things J 

Some Soccer Celeb's (Santos)

I suppose every war has its casualties and in this case it was our beloved blue stretchy. No worries, nothing a needle, patches and thread won’t fix.  Heart FM wants to use us again J so we will be doing the 17’th annual kite festival in Muizenberg on the 22 Oct to the 23 Oct which is great news because that specific event pulls between 20 000 to 25 000 people annually over two days, we will only be doing pancakes because one of their main sponsors do all hot drink related products. This is fine with Morningbru ..... 

Pancake Station

Week 3 in our new spot and we are doing great; our regular base is growing by the day. Coffee though, is not as popular as we would like it to be but the pancakes and sandwiches are doing very well. I am sure once we get an espresso machine and start doing proper cappuccinos and lattes we will gain more popularity with the offices in the area. 

Our Setup, Struggling Against The Vicious Wind

We are thinking of a little slogan to add to the Morningbru brand and so far it looks like we will be going with “making coffee personal again” or just “making coffee personal”  We think it is great because you don’t often get personal coffee in industrial areas, it is always a garage with a vending machine or something. It is impersonal ---- put in money, get your drink, no time for talking or anything just give and get. I guess with the fast paced lives we are living convenience and speed of delivery is everything and I know many people might prefer this way but I myself would much rather opt in for something a little more personal...... A machine can give no love, yet. J

Have a great evening people
