^^ Yep same here maybe from more than one Eindhoven shop

[FatTop]

I've heard a lot of great things about this shop. How's the crowd going here? Are they generally friendly?

[papillondenuit]

I'm really excited about trying this place out, we'll probably be in on Tuesday. What times are they open?
And is the Citronella still there?

[nel z bub]

@ Fat top- the regulars here are generally our mates and I consider them a nice bunch.
Many of them used to hang out when I worked at Homegrown Fantasy and it's good to be back in the neighbourhood getting the banter with the old crew again.
@papillondenuit- looking forward to seeing you and the citronella won't be running out any time soon.
Just as a side note; Ingi and I are both putting in six days a week at the moment and the two shifts that we have off are being covered by the owner. These are the Sunday morning shift and the Tuesday evening one, when I get a night off to go play in the local poker league.
As I've said up thread, the owner is not from the coffee shop industry and if you come in on his shifts you may not be able to get all the answers you might expect regarding the menu- as demonstrated on moogle's first report. I can only hope that the menu will make up for any shortfall in service in these circumstances.
We hope soon to recruit a suitable candidate to complete the shopfloor team which will allow the owner to return to his preferred back office role.

I'm yer man but seriously Iv been thinking about moving over to Amsterdam but the hurdle is of course a decent job , saying that Iv seen lots of jobs advertised lately , maybe it's time to take the plunge ?!

[TwoCanucks]

[papillondenuit]

Awesome, thank you! We'll try to stop by Tuesday morning then. Or perhaps Wednesday.

[Hotdog]

I'm defo gonna hit this shop next week, from the 14th. I wish you all the best with your new enterprise, you seem like 2 cool dudes that deserve it, hopefully ill have a spliff in your company next week, beating cisco to the job in the process!

So we've settled on a new logo graphic for the window, should get done this week.
It'll look something like this

We're hoping the white lettering will make the shop more visible from the street.

[Grumblefoot]

Looks great, design is cool. We hit town the 27th of April and will be stopping in for a smoke and a coke. Are there bongs on loan here?

[moogle]

Pretty cool! nel ze bub, I meant to ask you.. Was it you I was talking to that day in Utopia?? I was given a free coffee we spent a while chatting... Or was that Ingi?

[nel z bub]

@ Moogle- that was Ingi, I'm a big bald beardy fella, hope I catch you next time.
@ Grumblefoot- right now I have borrowed a 5mm little sister RooR from my friends at the RooR showroom. If it proves popular enough we will sign up to their coffeeshop hire scheme which will ensure three branded bongs, cleaned every week without me having to scrub them.
If it doesn't we will probably still have one and I'll just have to get the Grunge-off out every few days!

This bong hire scheme sounds great! Especially considering they clean them. Okay Nel I'll be sure to look out for you the next time. Cheers my man, good luck with things!

[Grumblefoot]

Thanks for the response, sounds good see you in April.

Nel z bub I have to say I like what I have been reading in this thread it really sounds like you folks are trying to turn this place around. I will definitely be dropping in on my next visit in March can't wait to ry that citronella. What is the hash like? And what are the opening times?
