Coffee lovers are invited to take a self-guided tour of
Astoria’s best coffee shops on Sunday, October 14. Each of the four
participating coffee shops and restaurants are planning something special that
morning from 8 to 10 am as part of the first Downtown Coffee Walk. Astoria
Coffee House & Bistro is providing the Cargo Store with coffee cocktails to
sample for Breakfast. The Rusty Cup is to serve samples their newest seasonal
lattes; Wet Dog Café & Brewery is sampling special baked goods for that day
only and Columbia Chocolates at ABECO Office Supplies is offering samples of
their Dark Chocolate Latte Truffle. The tour ends at 10 am in time to enjoy
Astoria Sunday Market for its closing day of the 2012 season.
“The idea for the Downtown Coffee Walks was inspired by the Mona Latte
artwork by artist Karen Eland,” explained Market Director Cyndi Mudge. “She
created our 2012 poster using her iconic Mona Latte painted entirely with
coffee.” Artist Eland was invited to create the 2012 poster art and explains how
her coffee-painted Mona Latte gets some color added to her life. “’Market Mona’
is my first painting combining the delicate process of layering espresso without
mixing it into the watercolors.”
Eland’s art will also be showcased in a booth at Astoria Sunday
Market.
