Local Happenings
Triple Artist Takeover: Ghouls, Snails, and Suarez!
Our walls have been completely transformed by three incredible artists who are creating the most amazing creative conversation we've ever hosted! Meet the artistic trio that's been turning heads and sparking discussions all month:
Dylan George (@ghoulattic) brings beautifully haunting imagery that perfectly captures that approaching October spooky-but-elegant vibe. There's something mesmerizing about Dylan's work that draws you in and makes you want to discover the stories behind each piece.
Ella Srholez (@snail.legges) offers a completely unique perspective with whimsical artistry that's unlike anything you've seen before. Ella's pieces have this wonderful way of making you slow down and really look, which pairs perfectly with a leisurely coffee break!
Christian Suarez (@suarez_artist) rounds out our trio with bold, captivating works that command attention and respect. Christian's art speaks with confidence and creativity that's absolutely infectious.
Together, these three artists have created something magical. Their different styles somehow create this perfect artistic dialogue that keeps people coming back for another look. All pieces are available for purchase through November 1st—you still have time to experience this remarkable exhibition and maybe take home something truly special!
New Drinks Alert: Athletic Brewing & HopTea!
We're beyond excited to introduce two game-changing additions to our beverage menu that are perfect for any time of day! Say hello to Athletic Brewing Company's non-alcoholic craft beers and HopTea's innovative hop-infused teas!
Athletic Brewing proves that you don't need alcohol to enjoy the complex, satisfying flavors of craft beer. Perfect for afternoon meetings, post-workout refreshers, or when you want that hoppy taste without the buzz. It's like having the best of both worlds: the craft beer experience with the clarity of staying completely sober!
HopTea is absolutely revolutionary! They've taken the aromatic, floral qualities of hops and paired them with refreshing tea bases. It's crisp, it's unique, and it's the perfect bridge between our coffee culture and something completely new and exciting.
Both pair beautifully with our food menu and offer a refreshing alternative for those looking to expand their beverage horizons beyond coffee. Come try something new, we promise these will surprise and delight you!
Lunch & Dinner Game-Changers: Bonfire Burritos & Gourmet Sandwiches!
Can we talk about how incredible our food program has become? While everyone knows us for amazing coffee, we're quietly building a reputation for serving some of the most satisfying lunch and dinner options on Tennyson Street!
Our Bonfire Burritos are pure comfort food magic—hearty, warming, and packed with flavors that'll make you forget it's technically "coffee shop food." Whether you're fueling up for an afternoon of work or need something substantial after a long day, these burritos deliver every single time. They're perfect for sharing with friends or conquering solo while you dive into a good book.
And our gourmet sandwiches? Don't even get us started! From our famous chicken salad sandwich, which has become a neighborhood legend, to our other carefully crafted creations, these aren't your average coffee shop sandwiches. We're talking about meals that satisfy, comfort, and keep you coming back for more.
Perfect for lunch meetings, dinner dates, or those times when you want something more substantial than a pastry. Our food menu is designed to pair beautifully with our drinks and create that perfect stay-a-while experience that makes Tenn Street Coffee & Books feel like home.
