our marketing department is working hard on debuting a new website with more interactive features, e-commerce capabilities, blog, coffee information and more. the debut of our long-awaited quarterly magazine is also coming up soon.

i think you, our beloved museo fans, will be impressed.

our roaster has finally gone from testing to production. we currently are offering a few origins and our espresso blend and decaf blend will be hitting our shelves by march 10th. we are pleased to say, we will also be offering our decaf espresso and single origin in 225g/8oz portions. based on customer feedback, most of you are finding it difficult to use the 3/4lb portion up within a week.

our origin list for now is the following:

sulawesi toarco jaya (indonesia)
wollega leka wato (ethiopia)
rushashi duhingekawa (rwanda)
nyeri ichamara (kenya)

we are particularly happy with how our espresso has been performing under our lab analysis - something that I think will please coffee lovers not just in saskatoon, but across canada. heavy, heavy caramel sweetness, chocolate, orange, cedar. while we are going to wait to march 10th for the whole bean rollout, we will be periodically featuring it in our cafe until then!

........................................................

we are open february 21st, 9-4:30 for what our former provincial government is calling "family day." :)

see you there!

Museo closed at 4pm on Friday January 21st, for the Mendel's exhibition opening event. We will be running normal hours, 9-6 throughout the weekend.

........................................................

Here are our hours, updated for your viewing pleasure:

-Open 11-5 on New Year's Day
-Closed January 7th
-Open 9-5 until January 16th
-Monday nights: open to 9pm on Jan 3rd & 10th, but closed at 5pm on Jan 17th as we will be attending the Banff Mountain Film Festival as a sponsor on January 17th.

Thanks to our loyal customers who helped make December 2010 our best yet. In all, we were closed only on Christmas day. We've found just by trimming our hours we are able to stay open throughout most of the holidays, save for January 7th.

We look forward to serving you the best coffee in Saskatoon in 2011!
