Welcome back to your famous Monon Coffee weather report from the best Indianapolis coffee shop in the ... Indianapolis! Willy has a great Derby weekend prediction for you: 70s! You're gonna need a butterscotch loco mocha freeze to stay hydrated in that newfound heat. Or our Blumonade, which is back! It's truly sprummer!

It's a Weather Willy weekend! Showers will make temps drop -- but how far? Only the best weatherman in Indy knows. His shop also happens to serve up some Indianapolis award winning coffee, so swing by this weekend when you're lookin for a Monon trail coffee shop! 

So this is a day late in posting, because we really wanted to get the gritty "noir" feel. We really wanted to do like an artsy interpretation -- okay, you got me, for some reason it came out all pixelated. But the weather's not, it's beautiful! Just ask Weather Willy. Don't forget to come get Indianapolis best coffee here at the Monon. We have lots of slushy spring drinks for you to savor. 

Your favorite Indianapolis coffee shop weather maven says it's going to be sunny in the upper 30s this weekend! What a wonderful time to catch up with your coffee shop regulars! 

Are you ready for winter to be over? To be able to drive on solid ground again? And actually feel your toes when you get into the car? (Those icicles are pretty cool, though.)

Before you trudge out of the sludge for good this 2010, you must first consult the weather oracle at your favorite Indianapolis award winning coffee shop. The Liberache of Lattes. The Tom Cruise of Chai Tea. Weather. Willy. He's got some surprises for you in the edition. Watch and marvel.  

The weather outside is "warm," if you consider that synonymous with "sunny." Either way, it's a great time to come visit your favorite Broad Ripple coffee shop -- our white chocolate strawberry mocha -- or any of our Indianapolis award-winning coffee drinks -- are perfect for your Valentine's sweet, or just to treat yourself.

Welcome to a special edition of Weather Willy Thursday, Super Bowl Edition, from Willy's network post at your favorite Indianapolis coffee shop. Find out what days will be sunny and which will be cloudy leading up to The Big Game. And don't forget, we'll be closing at 4 p.m. on Sunday so that our worker bees can attend Super Bowl parties -- like yours!  

It's time for another Weather Willy weather update from your favorite Indianapolis award winning coffee shop. Weather Willy speaks of sunny days ahead, just perfect for enjoying the Broad Ripple cafe's two new drinks, the dark chocolate mocha with cinnamon, and a white chocolate mocha with strawberry flavor. Come tantalize your tastebuds with a sip or two.

Come in and enjoy the delightful sounds of these fine musicians on bass, drums, keyboard and sax.  These musicians have not played here in a couple of years and are pulling it together while on break to provide some wonderful entertainment at the shop.  So stop by the place for Indianapolis Best Coffee and enjoy a cup of our award winning coffee.  You know where we are, this Monon Trail Coffee Shop is located just steps away from the trail in the heart of the village.  Hope to see you there!

This month your favorite Indiana coffee shop is  featuring international artwork from the Village Experience. These gorgeous, colorful pictures tell the stories of whirlwind international travel, exposing foreign lifestyles tragic and terrific.

The Village Experience is a socially pro-active business dedicated to uplifting impoverished communities in the developing world through efforts in international trade and tourism. Proceeds are used to support the mission of The Village Cooperative. The Village Cooperative is a charitable organization dedicated to the creation and support of income-generating projects in the developing world.

Village Experience co-founder Kelly Campbell provided descriptions of each of the photos you see on the right:

"The photos on display come from our humanitarian trips around the world. Here are a few stories:

"The picture of the hand is from the Palestinian side of the security barrier or "wall" separating the West Bank from Israel. Since Palestinians are forced to look at this enormous concrete structure everyday, artists have begun to create peaceful works of art on the wall. This one example shows five major religions as all being one in the same.

"The picture of the Masai Tribe from Kenya was taken during a "jumping ceremony" - the man who jumps the highest gets the honor of choosing his own bride from the tribe. Marriages for the other men will be arranged by tribal elders.

"The picture of the little girl standing in front of the blue door was taken in Nakuru, Kenya at The Child Discovery Center. Her name is Yasmine and she is 9 years old. She is an orphan and her education is currently being provided by The Village Cooperative. We get to see Yasmine about twice a year and she is doing really well!

"The picture of the Buddha is from a temple in Bangkok, Thailand. The numerous buddhas throughout Thailand show the great dedication of the Thai people to their religion, culture, and heritage. We explore the religious diversity of Thailand when we take groups to explore the country.

"The picture of the line of children enjoying their lunch is from the DaySpring School in Mbita, Kenya. The Village Cooperative renovated this school, built a kitchen, and has provided funding for a large scale chicken coop to provide an income through which to pay their teacher's salaries. A delegation from Indianapolis will be visiting this project in December.

"The picture of the International Committee of the Red Cross vehicle was taken in Tanzania. These SUVs are abundant in the developing world as roads are usually in horrible shape or completely non-existent in the areas of the world where NGOs operate. After reading and learning about humanitarian work overseas, to see it in action for the first time was truly moving."

We think these gorgeous pictures make great gifts for the globetrotters on your list, or anyone interested in making a difference with their purchases.

So the good news is that Weather Willy, your favorite Broad Ripple cafe weathercaster, is actually on up on a Wednesday today. The bad news is, this recording was taped Tuesday and has been posted LATE, so you've already been through the brunt Weather Willy mentions in the first part of his report. But his predictions came true, you'll see! And he has the scoop for the rest of the week as well.

Tune back in Friday, when we'll have hunks and hunkees (or maybe just hunks) modeling our new hoodies from the home of Indianapolis' best coffee. And if you'd like to model one yourself, give us a holler under the "Submit Drink Idea " tab to my right over here ----->

Fifty degrees and ugly, so stay home and eat turkey. That's what the overlord of Indianapolis' best coffee shop says. But he also says it'll be sunny this weekend, so come on by! You need coffee before, during and after all that Black Friday shopping, and our peppermint mocha is just the thing to keep your spirits up whilst running your feet and draining your pockets. Prosit!

A good fall drink warms your soul. Think of the spices that give the holiday season its spicy smells and tastes: Cinnamon, ginger, vanilla. These are all spotlights of our latest and greatest concoction, the new vanilla spice latte. Come in and taste its creamy, savory goodness, topped with fluffy foam. Come get one from your favorite Indianapolis coffee shop this weekend!

And why does the Crème de Pomme have SOY instead of COW milk? That's a question that comes up a lot.

Our answer: Because that’s how its creator originally ordered it: Caramel, cider and a touch of soy. We thought the soy was so good in it, we never swapped ingredients. And why would we? Soy milk has much less fat than regular, and many say it helps reduce cholesterol. But we just think its creamy, nutty flavor goes quite well with the sweet apple bite. 

Of course, you can order the drink with regular milk, and our baristas will be happy to oblige your wishes. But just for us, try it the other way first: We have the best Indianapolis coffee, so we must be doing drinks right!
