They could always strike a deal where they sell the coffee shop's coffee and the coffee shop sells their doughnuts.

 

I never eat donuts, but when I do it's usually someone on VV who offers to buy, but so far I am befret of donuts.

Long overdue. I think BP is also planning on some menu changes.

This place should relocate closer to mayfair or Uptown. This is a bad location now, too close to Helps' homeless paradise

Their donuts are insane.  I've lined up for them multiple times.  Definitely looking forward to this.

Not sure if I mentioned the 24-hour trial for Subway downtown was not a success, it ended the experiment a few weeks ago.  Oh, they also got their window busted on the weekend.

 

The downtown McDonalds continues to do a roaring late-night trade, especially on the weekends of course. They now often have to just close the thing at 4am for an hour to get a handle on all the garbage all over the floor.  It's quite a sight, it's almost ankle deep.

Do remember the name of the other business, beside the cookie place? What type of instruments do they sell?

It's actually The Cookie Guy. The premise is baked to order cookies delivered warm! The Cookie Guy is actually my brother in law. The plan is to soft open this week, and then open after thanksgiving.

I think this concept became popular on some US college campuses, and eventually morphed into late-night delivery of all sorts of food items to dormitories.

 

What's the cost of a made-to-order warm cookie delivery?
