Morning Wake-Up: Guillermo's Gourmet Grounds

BOTTOMLESS:  I drink way too many of these at Guillermos.

  • BOTTOMLESS: I drink way too many of these at Guillermo's.
I spent four and a half years writing for a living, and it was wonderful. Never got around to getting myself an office.

Hans Oliver has been teasing me for months now about reserving my seat at Guillermo’s Gourmet Grounds. I started coming to G3 sporadically in 2010, and over the past eight or nine months I have become a regular. It’s a good spot to groove and write for hours on end.

Argenta gets a new coffeehouse-cum-comedy club

In April, Little Rock newcomers Vicky and Steve Farrell plan to open The Joint, a comedy/rock club cum coffeehouse/bar, in that gaping storefront at 301 Main Street in North Little Rock. The coffee house will open for breakfast and encourage patrons to linger till late. The evening menu will include a more mellow buzz — beer and wine offerings — alongside the caffeinated buzz. They plan to offer wifi, film screenings, open mic nights and informal music events. You can take either buzz next door to the big room (seats 120), where there will be weekend comedy plays, Wednesday night improv and more formal Thursday night music events. The Farrell's are veterans of the Houston comedy circuit, where they helped launched two comedy ventures — The Comedy Workshop and Radio Music Theater. This is their first attempt at launching a coffeehouse, though. For more about The Joint, check out this post on Rock Candy.

Caffeine in the air at Guillermo's Gourmet Grounds

MASSIVE BROWNIE:  Goes well with Guillermos
On a rainy day, I enjoy indulging myself in guilty pleasures — an open window when the weather is warmer, or a hot cup of coffee and sugar biscuits.

If I really want to indulge myself, though, I could do much worse than spend a few hours in Guillermo’s Gourmet Grounds, savoring a latte and listening to the pop and sizzle of the coffee roaster.
