Spoons Cafe

Makeover!

Well Spoonies, what do you think about the color of the outside of the "new Spoons”?  Stop by and check it out!

The awnings are scheduled to go up around the 1st part of July and the outside look will really start taking shape.  I have a lot of heard a lot of excitement about us adding some organic options to our menu.  If you have any special requests, let me know.  I am headed to the TRA show tomorrow and Monday, which is the big restaurant show in Dallas and will be looking for some new ideas to add when we move. 

Construction is moving along, never fast enough for me, but what else in new.  Always, always, thank you for your support and encouragement…stay tuned for more pictures and more fun! 

Spoons As We Know It...

Just looking around the current cafe makes me so excited for the future.  There are so many neat pieces to our Spoonie puzzle that make this place feel like home.  As we shift spots around the square, we hope to take some of these images (and/or others) to our new location to remind you of our former home...

And, the signature red spoon is definitely coming with!

Let us know which one(s) ya like...you might be seeing them in the new place!  Leave us a comment and tell us whatcha think!

Whoa, What an Update!

We have new things happening DAILY, which makes the title of this blog soooo appropriate!

First, our pet birds, the Spoonie Family, have had their babies!  Looks like it is feeding time...check out the tiny tots...

Also, now you can take a sneak peek at our subflooring!  We are hard at work getting these digs just the way we like 'em.

The exterior paint is being tested out...

Check out this antique safe that is a Historic Downtown McKinney original!

I'm sure we'll find a use for it...wink, wink!

In the meantime, tell your friends about the blog, and continue to stop in and say HI!  We love your comments and are so proud to have all of you as members of our big happy family---The Spoonies!

You Heard It Here First

The signs are up at the current location

and at the new.

The inside is gutted...

But, the crew managed to finish out the Men's Room in a flash!

Hee hee!  Stay tuned for more images coming soon!

It's Demo Time!

What a weekend in Downtown McKinney.  We had a great time at the Art and Jazz Festival.  Spoons’ was rockin' and the weather was great.  If you missed it, be sure to get on our e-mail list so we can keep you updated. 

Now on to the construction update….the wall that was previously dividing 2 spaces is coming down and it is so exciting.  Chop chop...oooo, we love demolition!

We also have our first customer that has decided to build a nest and just wait on us to open.  What do you think will be her first dish?  Sig Salad?  An omelet?  Perhaps the Grown Up Grilled Cheese and some Tomato Basil Soup?

She must be singing, "Tweet tweet!  I want a treat.  C'mon, Spoons...make it sweet!"

Till next time...

Your Very 1st Spoonful...Eat it UP!

I can not believe that it is groundbreaking time for the new Spoons Café.  It was suggested to me, thank you Kate, that I needed to blog this exciting and sometimes nervous time.  For those of you that are new to the Spoons family, I refer to them as Spoonies; a brief history about us is on Spoons' Official Web Site  and can get you up to date.

The kitchen plan is finalized, and construction is set to start the week of June 4th.  We will be in our new location in August and will be keeping the same format but adding dinner probably on just Friday and Saturday night to start.  We will be doing beer and wine.  I am very interested in what you would like to see added to the menu and suggestions because without the wonderful support of my loyal customers Spoons would have never survived and I would have maybe never discovered that this is my passion.  Thank you.  I am so grateful.  Stay tuned to watch our restaurant be built, and leave a comment (or two or three) if ya like!
