Weather Willy says we've been having an Indian something -- not quite summer, but not quite winter either. Of course, it is fall, so it can't be an Indian that either, at least as per the saying.
Anyway, come enjoy the waning sunshine that will be making one of its last appearances this weekend, according to Weather Willy, leader of the free meteorologist world and your favorite Broad Ripple Coffee Shop. And don't forget to check out our new fall menu offerings!
Just like to point out our crisp new background and the "suggest a drink" button on the side. Don't want to order an iced, whole leaf chai latte with two inches of steamed soy? Submit your idea and a creative name! Winners will be immortalized in our special drinks board.
Monon trail cafe goers (that's you) -- Your Weather Willy Wednesday forecast is sunny. Still seeing 60s before this November is over. Come in and celebrate with us. And don't forget to visit our Facebook page.
That's right--it's cold enough to give the ol' slushies the nix after this weekend. But Weather Willy says we'll have a temperate, sunny Saturday, so come in and get a frozen creme de pomme, pumpkin chocolate chip freeze or any other icy goodness from our little Broad Ripple cafe to tide you over until spring.
Sorry for the sideways Willy ... the cameragirl isn't drunk, just stressed.
Check out Weather Willy's predictions for conditions during this weekend's Broad Ripple Music Fest, live from his Monon Trail Cafe. Speaking of the Music Fest, we're hosting some bands on Saturday from 5 p.m. on, at our very own Broad Ripple coffee shop. Stop by and see us, and while you're here, try the new BLENDED creme de pomme--that's apple, caramel and soy milk mixed with ICE. Different and delicious!
That's Weather Willy's shameless plug this brisk Saturday. Listen to his weather predictions for the weekend, and then come warm up at the best Monon Trail coffee shop around. Here are some of our favorites this weekend:
*Creme de pomme (apple cider with caramel and a touch of soy) *Pumpkin chocolate chip freeze (pumpkin syrup, chocolate chips, espresso and milk blended together) *White chocolate mocha (the best in the city--possibly the world; luscious Ghirardelli white chocolate is steamed with milk and espresso for a silky-sweet taste like you've never experienced. It's like drinking a cloud.) *Chai or yerba mate latte (soul warming, not-too-sweet, and good for you)
The current weather report from the Monon Trail: Weather Willy says it's going to be sunny during the day and cool at night for most days this week. Watch the video for more. And don't forget to stop by for some of Indianapolis's award-winning coffee, or our new creme de pomme--caramel cider with a touch of soy. Mmmmm (delicious pics soon).
Your favorite Broad Ripple coffee shop owner has been away, but he didn't forget about you. He delivered a weather report from the mountains--just in case you all wanted to know, or happened to be in Montana like him.
The cooler weather signals fall's imminent return. But we have you covered on snackage for the season--try our oat jacks with chewy seeds, fruit and molasses for a healthy treat, or maybe some banana or pumpkin bread to get you in the mood for the season. All go well with our US sourced, artisan roasted coffee. Visit our Broad Ripple coffee shop soon for some sustinance--you'll need to build some insulation!
Here's your Weather Willy Wednesday prediction from your favorite Broad Ripple cafe! Don't fret about today's showers, as they've already dissipated. And Weather Willy reminds you not to miss out on the last few days of the State Fair, chock-a-block full of MC Hammer and chocolate-covered bacon--two must-try acquired tastes. Run back to your favorite Indianapolis coffee shop (that's us) to make it better afterward.
You put a lot of beans into your favorite coffee shop. You come here each morning to not only fill your cup with our smooth blends, you also enjoy the counterculture: the quirky regulars, the ever-changing artwork, the friendly baristas, and the self-employed laptop set, with whom you might have even made important business connections (and if you haven't, you should!)
Stand up for your favorite coffee shop. Vote for us as the best coffee shop for The Indy Channel's "A List." We couldn't get the badge thingy to work, so CLICK THE PICTURE to go to the voting page. Thanks!
Hey all you weather-beaten Hoosiers: Willy has the weather scoop for you. You can expect at least one day of sunshine in the next few days, but the rest will be muggy and warm--perfect for a Sunshine Smoothie with mango, payapya, pineapple, peach, ginger and carrot. Lots of fresh updates are coming to this favorite Indianapolis coffee shop, including cool new mosaic tables (stay tuned for those).
And did you know that Nuvo rated Monon the favorite Broad Ripple cafe? Thanks to reader votes, it's true. Thanks to everyone who weighed in!
In case you've never ordered one before, our Broad Ripple cafe also serves up some of the freshest squeezed juices along the Monon trail besides Indianapolis best coffee. If you love real ripe orange juice, you can enjoy some here. If you want something more exotic, try the vitamin-heavy V-Ate, with tomatoes, cucumber, garlic, carrot, celery, parsley and beets. If you like something a bit more tart, our Pucker Up with green apple, lemon and ginger will have you smiling through its sweet sourness (some customers like to add carrot to even things out a bit). No dice yet? Try the House juice with carrot, apple and ginger or the CAP with carrot, apple and pear. Can you imagine what a treat these real fruit and vegetable juices are for your health?
(If you're wondering about that juggernaut Willy is holding, her name is "Ruby" and she'll be juicing your apples today.)
Anna Witte's mixed media paintings have been attracting a lot of praise and gawking inside the coffee shop. It's hard to pinpoint all the sources of inspiration for these all-at-once African and medieval-inspired paintings. They look sort of like mythology from King Arthur's Court meets "Where the Wild Things Are."
"Themes that I draw from are story telling and performance: circus, dance and music," says Witte, who grew up in Germany and Spain. She also illustrates children's books. Visit her Web site at www.annawitte.com, and come in to see a great array of gorgeous paintings for purchase.
Look at this giant tower of iciness. That's a whole buncha cool, ice-crunchy goodness below that spaceship-like orb that is its plastic cup top. It's coolness all the way around.
The drink shown is our mocha freeze, but this favorite is now available in a new, young, updated version without wrinkles--vanilla malt freeze! That's right, kids (or adults), you get the taste of vanilla and candy-sweet malt, whipped to oblivion so it slides down your throat. You don't even have to swallow!
We're not just the best Broad Ripple cafe or coffee shop, we're the best malt shack in the neighborhood, too!
You all wanna know what's coming out of the sky this Fourth of July? Weather Willy's gonna tell you. And don't forget to stop by and get the Arnold Palmer that's so 3008--Blumonade. It's healthy, antioxidant-rich blueberry rooibos tea mixed with tangy-sweet lemonade. It's good and good for you! And what would the summer be without a signature sweet drink? NOTHING! NOTHING WE TELL YOU! YOU WILL FORGET THE SUMMER IF YOU DON'T DRINK OUR TEA!
One of our regular customers, Shane (A.K.A. "White Chocolate"), models a lovely new tie-dye Monon Coffee Co. shirt. These shirts are seriously stylin', and come in all different kinds of colors and fits. Shane's looks like it was dipped in a mocha, making him look scrumptious.
Weather Willy says it's hotter than Hades outside. Better come to the Monon Coffee Company for Broad Ripple's best iced mochas, fresh fruit smoothies and bluemonade in the city!
Some to try: *Berry Blaster with raspberry, blueberry, strawberry, cherry and blackberry *House smoothie with strawberry and banana *Malted Monkey with chocolate, banana, malt and milk *Peachy Keen, sweet tea with peach *Bluemonade, blueberry rooibos tea and lemonade
Come in for a coffee, leave with your future spouse. That's what happened with our adorable little Monon-spawned couple, the future Mr. And Mrs. Dan and Jamie Fahrner.
Okay okay, they met at a party held or co-thrown or something by some Monon Coffee Company regulars and/or employees, so it's almost the same thing as them having met here. And they've both been long-time, beloved baristas at our shop. The point is, we love these crazy kids! Here's to a long and love-filled life.
