The News on Smallman Street

As many of our regulars to the Strip already know- we reopened our old space at 2018 Smallman Street, f.k.a. “Caffe Intermezzo” a.k.a. “where it all began”, as “Smallman Street News” about a month ago.
What, you may ask, is the significance of this belated announcement?

Well, it forever documents the event online for prosperity… plus the newstand doesn’t have a website of its own so big brother coffee shop needs to help the new kid. This grand reopening was pretty low key- evidenced by the lack of mayoral ribbon cutting (thanks for not showing up in August- I thought we were friends).

Having said that you can now get newspapers, cold drinks, snacks, lottery tickets, and other fun stuff (with more to come) just a couple of doors down the street from your favorite “coffee place” in the city. New things are added daily, based on customer feedback.

We just ask you to be patient as we get comfortable with the lottery lingo. We’re new at this “boxing” stuff.

Just wanted to call out a couple of updates to the website. Good reading!

We’ve added the current coffee list to the “Brew Bar” page with links to Intelligentsia’s description of the coffees. As always you can download a pdf version of our current Clover Brew Bar Menu.
We’ve updated the “Shop” page to provide some information about the products we are currently carrying. We just got in shipments of home grinders and new home brewing equipment. It’s not an e-commerce site yet, but we’re working on it.
We’ve filled out the “Catering” page to reflect what we’ve been doing for almost two years now… that is great coffee/ pastry/breakfast/lunch catering services. We also wanted to introduce something we’ve been doing for the past few months but haven’t gotten around to officially promoting it- ESPRESSO BAR CATERING. Yes you can now book us to make fantastic espresso drinks at your next event.

Punch/Loyalty/Prepaid/Gift Cards

Many of you know about our punch card system, but I wanted to take a moment to explain how it works.

The punch card (as seen on right)

Buy any ten “drinks”- that would be coffee, tea, espresso, italian soda, etc (non-bottled)
Redeem filled punch card for any drink on the menu- ANY SIZE

The punch card is a reward to our loyal customers. It is also an easy way for a customer to try something they have never had before. Drink coffee every day? Try a latte. Mix it up.

The Loyalty/Prepaid/Gift Card
This is a permanent “Customer Card” that works in much the same manner as the punch card, but has the following advantages:

It tracks your free drinks on our system
We can store your “favorite drink” so you can get that 16oz 2% Vanilla Latte without repeating yourself every day
It can be used as a gift card- put money on it and give to a friend
It can be used as a prepaid card- forget the friend, use it on yourself
It’s more durable and easier to find in the wallet/pocket
It works at both of our shops

The card works really well if you don’t like to carry cash and are in a hurry most mornings. We can put any amount on it you’d like and store your usual drink on our system. Then each day just hand us the card, we swipe it, pull up your usual drink, and charge it against your prepaid balance. This also saves you from having to carry around change or sign credit card receipts.

And regarding privacy, we only ask for your name or an alias you’ll remember. The info is not used for anything other than providing you with the best service possible.
