Good luck
Ok, Ok …, I know that if you don’t consume adult beverage, Flagler Beach night life is null. But I have to tell you this, I have to tell you about a great little spot I found last week in downtown Flagler Beach – The BeanHouse Beanery.
Called the BeanHouse Beanery for I don’t know what reason. They do not roast beans there but they do sale them. I think I heard that the bean were roasted by the Beach Taco guy in St Augustine, but not sure. The BeanHouse Beanery is located on Central Ave across from City Hall in an old Florida beach house. The house sits high and there are a few steps to climb but they are easy.
The BeanHouse Beanery is a small and I mean small coffee cafe with a limited selection of in house food and snacks. But don’t worry or fret… what they do carry is “jump in your mouth good“. I mean really great chocolate tarts and cakes.
Plus and this is a “double plus good” thing I am talking about here – Coffee is not your only choice of beverage. They have Smoothie for us aging hippies, and Teas all the way from China. I would love to see more fruit, fresh fruit drinks, but I will give them time.
But I just heard and this is the real kicker, I heard that they are going to have Entertainment this Friday Night. OMG, in Flagler Beach and not at a bar. This is really great news for us non-drinkers.
They are introducing – A Mountain of Sorts”
A “chill indie-acoustic set”, featuring Robyn Hunter’s fine guitar and vocals. A Flagler girl with a very nice sound. Please come and welcome her, and enjoy a very pleasant evening!
Starting at 6, ending at 9—or whenever everyone leaves, or when she gets “all sung out”!
Wow… I would strongly suggest if you are in the area to stop by. Forget weather the band is great or not. Just stop by to support this effort to bring something different to Flagler Beach. Plus I guarantee you will like the folks that run The BeanHouse Beanery.
DO it.
The Sea Turtle
So, it is almost April and time for that Sea Turtle Festival in Veterrans Memorial Park – A-1-A and SR100. Sure to be a good time for all. Dates are April 4th from 10:00am till 5:00 pm. Trying to find out more about the event. Did a google and came up with info for St Johns’s county festival. Have you ever notice The City Flagler Beach’s web site. Ifyou need a good chuckle check it out. I think the only thing older the the web design is Ron Vath.
