When they first opened they were open in the am but had a hard time getting bussiness. It was soooo cute then, all couches and overstuffed chairs. It was more of a coffee house. They have had a hard time making it work but have held on. The food has always been fantastic and they are great people. Keep spreading the word and they might just have a chance. I would love to see more small places like this around the area.

It looks like a really cute place, on the website. Driving past it, we didn't get a sense of how cute it actually is inside. Maybe if they find a new location, or make the outside more appealing, more people would be interested. I will definitely go by soon.

The exterior really doesn't do them justice - their landlord isn't very friendly, from what I understand. (hence the dumpster right out front, and the new billboard installed while they were closed for vacation.)

They've had to make lots of changes over the past 3 years they've been open, to please the crowds and make things work. Darryl and Stephanie have both expressed how much they missed the true coffee-house feel with the big couches and chairs, etc. Just recently they were open a couple of evenings a week, and had live music, etc - but with their location up for sale it's tentative. I can't give away any info, but they have a location nearby in the works!

They're great people, and are wonderful at what they do. I think for November and December of last year, there were days we were there almost every day... I love their tuna sandwiches, and my wife is a wednesday regular, for the potato soup!!!

anyone been here? index

We're wondering if it's still open and the last update of 1/1/2007 isn't encouraging..

Also, a coworker sent me this tonight: Welcome to Westover Link ::::::::: Serving Greater Westover Hills & Surrounding Communities

I asked the Sips and More folks if that is the place in the same building as them, and they said that they had closed down. She did not sound like they had plans to reopen even in a new location, but did not know for sure.

I think Fruitilicious is closing, or possibly selling, but I'm not sure. They did have a craigslist ad for their store not long ago.

This site is run by the Community Loop folks, the ones that had the big Neighborhood Expo at NW Vista not long ago. Looks like they haven't done anything with the site since they launched it months ago, it still says "prelaunch" and the links still don't work.

Does anyone know what the construction company moving all that dirt on 1604 between potranco and marbach is working on? The Movie theater maybe?
