The big guy himself knows how special it is to be a Dad, so to celebrate all the Papa’s in the world, we will have our special coffee custard at our Glendale and Arcadia stores this Saturday and Sunday! Here’s the description of the custard […]

Hi! Remember us? Sorry for not blogging for the past month. Now that things are more settled and we’ve hired more people, I’m back!
Not sure if you guys visited during the grand opening, but we worked throughout the night and were the only food pavilion open on Friday. The Thursday before […]

Here’s a picture of the Americana trolley!  It was unveiled a couple days ago and blows away The Grove’s puny trolley.  Plus it’s colorful orange and not dark green.  When you’re here, take a ride on the trolley and check out our HUGE cream puff pictures that we have on our windows facing the trolley.  […]

Well maybe you can, because we’re telling you that we’re opening in three days, but you wouldn’t believe us if you saw what our kiosk looks like currently.  Actually, above is a picture from Monday of our pony wall.  I hope you’re impressed with the crazy amount of conduit and piping we have stuffed in […]

This weekend was our plumber’s birthday (Happy Birthday Trevor!) and so we let him off this weekend to go have fun with 35 of his friends at Pismo Beach. His description of the event was, “Dude, this was an epic weekend”.

Ever wish you were a Ninja Turtle? I always wanted to be Donatello (the purple one). Anyway, I don’t think I want to be one anymore, because I just realized that their home is dark, deep and very inaccessible.
After four feet of digging, we finally struck gold and found our sewer! The […]

Here’s a picture of the Arcadia store’s grand opening day.  We worked our butts off to make our opening date (some things never change) and it was definitely worth the effort.  The three of us probably slept a total of eight hours in the three days before we opened.  I even dragged my girlfriend to […]

We haven’t started construction yet due to permit issues.  The biggest permit issue?  A health department mandate that an employee accessible restroom must be within 200 feet of the kiosk.  The closest public restroom to our kiosk (and every other kiosk) is around 400 feet away, so the health department doesn’t like that too much.  […]
