Pillow Cafe

 Address:- Bedford Stuyvesant, 505 Myrtle Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11205


 It exists behind blue lattice-work and French doors, curtains drawn aside, implying invitation. It is intimately placed seating in an open-spaced setting. Small tables allow for overheard conversations and the sharing of condiments, while still remaining separate, apart, their own. Here is where it lives.
It begins operating at an early hour because it has to keep up with Brooklyn. People are assured that it functions to keep them functioning. It does. It will. This place runs because of those who continue to run for it – regulars eating oatmeal at the bar, new-comers ordering lattes from the window seats. Steamed milk. Reliable espresso. Premium fuel. This is it in action.
It runs and fuels and functions, but it also steadies with ease, aware of the individual. Aware of dark days leaving dark trails, this place is intentionally hot chocolate, lounge seating, a case with sweet things begging for indulgence. Living up to its name, there are pillows, there is comfort. It remains in tune.
As the evening becomes evident, tables begin to rely on tea-lights, the space filling with centered glows.. The bar turns into shared wine and shared space, low conversation over glasses filled with red. Mason jars brim with cocktails and push together in cheers, red straws swirling with the sound. This is it with a drink in hand.
This place, this space, is all of these things. All of these things are at the Pillow Café. And it is outlined in blue. Welcome!

Radina’s Coffeehouse & Bakery

 Address:- 616 North Manhattan Avenue, Manhattan, KS


 At Radina's Coffeehouse & Roastery we are dedicated to providing fresh, hand-crafted coffees that are roasted to their peak flavor. Why? Because fresh roasted coffee tastes better. It is really that simple.
Roasting activates over 800 volatile compounds that affect the flavor of the coffee. After roasting, these flavor components begin to break down—roasted coffee has a very short shelf life. Regardless of how it is packaged, roasted coffee should be enjoyed within 14 days of roasting.
Large scale roasters and cafes cannot follow this 14 day guideline. The time it takes to move the coffee from the roaster to the customer is just too long—shipping alone can take a week. Since this delay occurs with any coffee not locally roasted, our commitment to quality demands that we roast our own coffee.
