midtowner, it was a pleasure to meet you yesterday and enjoy a cup of Dean's Beans and sandwich.

You've got a real comfortable place there. I'm sure to be back for more.

Warning -- any dessert addicts out there? You do not want to step foot in the Tramontane -- you're going to need to go directly to dessert rehab all over again.

from the TRAM "Easy Bake" Jackie's oven:: Raspberry Chocolate Chip Muffins, Apple Muffins, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Chocolate Chip w/ walnut Cookies, Double Chocolate Bundt (vegan), Chocolate Cupcake Cherry Suprise (vegan)

Well now ya peaked my interest Frank. I will have to make it there on my next trip to Utica. I love the Deans Beans thing. Is it a take off on "Jeans beans" Midtowner?

I am a serious coffee lover. I don't do the latte's and all that, but I sure do like a good cup of quality coffee.

Congrats on the grand opening, and good luck with your venture!

I had asked for a cup of the brand of coffee ground here in Utica, but I can't remember the name. midtowner suggested Deans Beans instead. It was a rich dark roast that made the room grow brighter as I drank it.
