Notice Anything New? 
How about those fabulous green wing chairs and the table with the crock pots of soup?  The table was a gift from our barista supremo, Michael Love, and used to be in his room at home.  The chairs are from Value Village. 
Michael and Sarah had just 4 days to spiff up the place and “could ANYTHING they wanted. Sarah even made the lovely red curtain to hid the back of the fridge.
Gone are the La-Z-Boy couch and TI KI bar.  Bye, Bye.

Wow! Sarah Makes Pie and Quiche 
Poulsbohemian prize-winning pies and quiches baked by our former barista Sarah Fulford.  Call ahead for selection.  $3.50 per slice

A Poulsbohemian Passport

A Poulsbohemian Passport is a punchcard.  It works like this … purchase a card by paying for ten drinks and get the eleventh drink FREE!  

We punch your card for eleven visits.  We have a card file, too, so you don’t have to keep track of it.  We let you know when you are about to run out.  It’s like insurance.  This way you’ll never be without your favorite drink. 

A Passport may also be purchased for cookies, soup and sandwiches.  Anything you might like eleven of.  It’s a deal at a 10% discount.

Join Wiley in the New PBCH Side Yard !

Sometimes the Winter around here is quite lovely.  Come sit a spell in our "Smoking Doggie Patio."   It's a really nice place to sit with your pooch at one of our umbrella tables. 

Bask in the mid-day sun and smoke your pipe or cigarette if you'd like.  You'll have the best view in town of our beautiful Liberty Bay.  Sip a delicious latte yourself, and we'll give you a Milk-Bone for your canine companion.

"More Than Coffee."

 

The Backroom is Re-Opened and the Hillside is Fixed !!

It’s finished!  The hillside now is ... well, a HILLSIDE!! 
Yes, now the last part of the project is just to wait and watch the grass seeds sprout under the plastic “greenhouse” that's temporarily covering it. 
I want to express my sincere thanks to Sealevel Bulkhead Construction, to The Sons of Norway -- for the very generous use of their parking lot -- and to all our wonderful customers who crammed up front in the half-open coffeehouse for a whole year. 
Come in and reap the rewards.  The backroom view of glorious Liberty Bay is now better than ever!

Our Poulsbohemian Upcoming Regular Events:
On Monday nights every week we have a Prose Writing Workshop that meets at 7:00 PM.  The group has been meeting here for nine years and is currently full.  Call the Coffeehouse for details and if there might be an opening. 

Join Us in Producing "The World’s Longest Scarf"
Come join the "Sip-N-Knitters" every Thursday afternoon from 4:00 to 7:00 PM.  Bring your own projects or add a few rows to "Our World’s Longest Scarf” project.  And to date more than 200 men, women, and kid knitters have contributed to our effort!

Or just come by anytime really, and sit and knit a stitch or two while enjoying a latte.  If you want, bring in left-over "end yarn" that will be added to create this fiber art piece.  The current record is Twenty-One Miles held by some old Scottish ladies, so here we go ...

So our scarf will go for Twenty-two Miles ... that’s about the distance from the Poulsbohemian to Marianna’s house up in Hansville.  We have two ends going at once which cuts the knitting time in half.  So far, it's been calculated to take 54 years.  Come by and take a few years off. Caffeine will speed up the production.  And as you can see from the photo below, Marianna's been working double duty on this daunting task. Come in and give her a break!

Photo Trickery by Chris Dawe

"Coffee falls into the stomach and ideas begin to move, things remembered
arrive at a gallop and the shafts of wit start up like sharp-shooters,
similes arrive, the paper is covered with ink."

  -- Honore de Balzac

And Here's a Bit of Nostalgia ...
The old view of Poulsbo's lovely Liberty Bay ... really hated to see all that beautiful ivy go ....

then said "A view?  Oh, a view!  How delightful a view is!"

The Poulsbohemian Philosophy ...

Work like you don't need the money.
Love like you've never been hurt.
Dance like nobody's watching.
Sing like nobody's listening.
Live like it's Heaven on Earth.
