Holiday Gift Suggestions from the Analog Lounge!

To Go! We have Quimper Sound signature travel mugs; Brushed Stainless Steel with our new Logo. They have snap tight closure and thermal insulation, and when you bring them in (just like any mug) you'll receive 20 cents off your coffee purchase. They are Great for keeping your latte piping hot in the cold weather too! Travel Mug $ 9.95

If your looking for an easy stocking stuffer or christmas gift, we have quite a few choices:

If you like our coffee in the store, then take some home or share it with a loved one. We offer 12oz bags of whole bean in the most popular varieties, for drip coffee or espresso. We have a variety of roasts, as well as our Cafe Feminino which is grown, processed and traded by women. If you don't have a grinder at home, ask one of our baristas, we'd be happy to grind it for you upon purchase to your specifications. 12oz bag $ 9.95

If you want to introduce someone to our lovely coffee bar offerings, or you just want to give them the gift of reducing their weekly coffee bill, then pick up one of our coffee punch cards. They are good for any five espresso drinks and cost only twelve dollars. If you drank 5 sixteen ounce lattes, you would save $5.50 in total! It's really a great deal, and also a nice back up for when you don't have cash on hand. Pre-paid 5 espresso drink card $12.00

If you really want to make things easy, get the beautifully gift wrapped mug, with a 5 coffee punch card, all for just $20.00. This makes the cost of the punch card a mere $10.00, that's essentially $2.00 per espresso drink of your choice. It's really a great deal, and it's all ready to place under the tree!

There are lots of other goodies coming in soon; amazing breath mints with hilarious themes and an espresso lovers gift basket for any occasion (it also makes a great hostess gift).

I would also like to briefly mention our new Coffee Spot service that will be up and running very soon. We will have Air Pots of your favorite Coffee available with all the extras (cream, sugar, honey, sweetener), to transform any spot into a Coffee Spot. If you have a meeting to host, a party, or a special event, let us keep everyone warm and cozy, and awake, with some freshly brewed coffee from The Analog Lounge. Email me for details if interested.

Keep checking in for upcoming events and new coffee deals!

Come visit us, we're always glad to help with gift giving ideas. And if you need to just take a load off after all that holiday shopping, come in, acquaint yourself with our big comfy couch, and let me serve you up a coffee drink of your choice.

Happy Holidays! We look forward to seeing you, and as always we appreciate your business.

Chris Gunn's
Top 5 Cds To Buy The Hipster On Your List

1. Tom Waits "Small Change" a true classic in the catalog of Waits. bar-room ballads, spoken word tirades and songs from the wrong side of tin-pan-alley.

2. Eels "with strings-live at town hall"
excellent song-writing, intimate setting. appropriate for early mornings, late nights, alone or with the "in" crowd.

3. Rachel's "systems/layers"
is it classical? is it jazz? is it post-rawk? is it good. . .yes.

4. Alexander "Skip" Spence "oar"
the most original thing to come out in 1969. . .still one of the most original things available today. Covered by the likes of Tom Waits, Robyn Hitchcock and Beck.

5. Del Tha Funkee Homosapien "best of"
an actual rap cd that's good without a ton of naughty words on it? creative and inventive featuring tracks from Hieroglyphics and a duet with Dinosaur Jr.



Corey's
Top 5 Gift Suggestions of Christmas Past

1. Charles Mingus "Mingus Ah Um" Covering a wide range of emotions and filled with inspired life, Mingus Ah Um is arguably Mingus' best studio effort - perfect for jazz lovers of nearly all stripes

2. Liz Phair "Exile in Guyville" Never dull and pared down to the nerve, this classic Liz Phair album hits the raw center time and again with her simple rock sensibilities and clear-eyed insight into life

3. Brian Eno "Before and After Science" Bridging Eno's move from pop to ambient, this album contains some of the best of both, serving up both the funky and the hypnotic

4. Viktor Krauss "Far from Enough" Bluesy, Jazzy - kinda homespun, kinda happening - this inspired and laid-back album of instrumental music features Bill Frisell on guitar

5. Beastie Boys "The In Sound from Way Out!" Proving they can do more than rap, this all-instrumental, groove machine of an album will have the recipient struttin' and shufflin' like the tripped out hipster they think they are in no time flat


Michael T's
Past and future classics that anyone can enjoy

"If you don’t got ‘em, get ‘em. If you got ‘em, give ‘em"

2) Orlando Cachaito Lopez – Latin beats mix with smoky sax and moody organ on this irresistible masterpiece.

3) Shuggie Otis – Inspiration Information Called the “Sgt. Pepper of soul”, this album was deemed too futuristic in 1974, but the world is finally ready.
