They were never opened to provide long-term careers for adults and guess what again? Neither was Starbucks. Starbucks is the enemy because they want to monopolize and homogenize. I didn't say Starbucks doesn't take care of its employees, I said spare me the talk about how they do which is bullshit because they should take care of their employees for the billions they rake in annually, and you know I meant that. I can frequent both and many of the other cafes around us :) This won't negate my patronage to Starbuck's either. I will certainly visit and buy their products out over the weekend. Many have said the quality is outstanding. On a positive note, my west coast peeps say wonderful things about Blue Bottle.

More than ever, the comfort and convenience of a local cafe, where you can get a newspaper, coffee and a quick snack or full meal, is of immense value, and something we’ve all been missing a bit. Even if right now we can’t linger at a table or on a stool or strike up a conversation with someone sitting next to us, some of our dear familiar places are open for pickup or delivery service. Newsbar Cafe, located at 107 University Place between 12th and 13th Streets since 1994, is one such place, open for business and providing a much-needed service and a little bit of community at this time.
