TassenKuchen

As mentioned in the last post, we have a new espresso machine. And it looks like this:

makes milk foam like butter, baby…macht milchschaum wie Butter

And we just recently got our “KeepCup”s in. We can now offer you Coffee Togo (though I still prefer Coffee Tuesday). But, and it’s a big but…you can take a KeepCup with you but you have to leave a deposit equal to the retail price of the cup; either that or you can leave an “ausweis”. We have two sizes: cappuccino and latte. The cups are polypropylene but free of BPA, Pthalate, PVC, Polycarbonate, PSAs, ERAs, EMIs, BPMs, ELOs, OMGs and lots of other initials.

The cappuccino size costs 9.80€ and the latte size 10.50€ plus you get a free hot beverage of your choice when you buy it and you pay 0,10€ less for every hot drink when you use your KeepCup at TK. (I am not sure other cafés will honor that offer.)

They come in combinations of the vibrant TK colors; just look for yourself:

Just say no to contributing to landfills!

If you gotta go, take us with you. Your grandkids will thank you.  ; )

Last but not least, we have mounted some decorations (ooh, that is a nasty word) on a wall in the big table room. We hope it contributes positively to the ambience. We think its pretty rad!

Free wheeling at TK!

Hallo All,

We are very pleased to inform you that we have installed a new (for us) espresso machine! And it’s a beauty! It makes some wonderfully thick foamed milk on which you could float a pfennig, err, 20 cent euro coin. Plus it’s a 2 group machine so that means more coffee, faster…no more waiting in a line of 20 people to get your triple, caramel, half-caff, venti mocha latte!

Photo to come…hopefully tomorrow. And more news to come as well. Stay tuned in and turned on!

6 Months that is!! Yes, tomorrow marks 6 months of being in our official location (coming down from the 3rd floor and out into the open). We want to celebrate! This week we will cook up some special treats for you all to ring in the next 6 months of our first year of business (if that makes sense). And to celebrate on the day, thursday, we are offering free mini cupcakes to all our customers who wish us a happy “demiversary”. We want to thank you all for supporting TK over the past 6 months and hope to see more of you.

The weather is getting nice (and then again not nice, and then nice again, and then…) and you can sit outside and soak up the character of Wedding right before your eyes.

And a note about the LUCA concert this past Sunday..it was GREAT!!! I hope you were there. We had a great time; about 40 people showed up to hear two beautiful sets by Luca. They were very well received…as they should have been. We look forward to hosting them again soon. Check out her CD on the previous post’s link.

LUCA at TassenKuchen…a really fun afternoon of great, acoustic music.

Diesen Sonntag um 16 Uhr spielt LUCA bei TassenKuchen. Sie spielen ganz schöne Lieder mit akustischer Gitarre und Cello. Du kannst Luca hören auf diesem Link:

Es wird “perfektes” Wetter für heissen Kaffee und warme Musik! Komm mit einem Freund und hör die schöne Musik an.

This Sunday TK is proud to present an intimate afternoon of music with Luca. She/they are locals on Malplaquetstrasse and make very pretty music…sometimes it will make you laugh, other times you will cry in your latte. Oh, well, so is life. Come in and enjoy a hot drink, a delicious baked good and some great music. The show begins at 4 pm. Hope to see you. Show some love for some local talent. Or better said, catch them for free at TK before they explode. Then you will have to pay 50€ to see ‘em at O2 world.

Hello Friends,

Spring is coming (or is here according to the calendar) but we forgot to “spring forward”…but better late then never. So, starting next wednesday, April 18th, TassenKuchen will have the following new business hours:

Wednesday – Sunday from 10:30-19:00

That means you can all hang out an hour longer. Or on your way home from work pick up something sweet for dessert to share with the family. We look forward to the extra hour in the evening to allow for extended chillaxin’.

See you soon?!

Hallo Freunde,

Der Frühling ist da und es wird Zeit für unsere neuen Geschäftsstunden! Ab nächster Woche Mittwoch geht’s los:

Mittwoch bis Sonntag von 10:30h-19:00h

Das heisst, das Ihr es Euch eine Stunde länger es bei uns  gemütlich machen könnt oder auf dem Nachhauseweg noch schnell ein paar Kuchen zum Nachtisch für die Familie und Freunde mitnehmen könnt.

Freuen uns auf unsere neuen Geschäftszeiten. Bis bald!

hello all,

it was looking good there for a while with the warm, sunny weather and all. don’t let the little intermission get you down. the beautiful spring weather will be here again very soon. (that is my attempt at optimism.) but anyway, the point i want to make is that we here at TK have been busy making our outdoor seating visually appealing. tonia and kai cleaned up the tree boxes (or whatever they are called) out in front of the café and planted them with flowers and ground cover. i must say it looks quite inviting out there…flowers in the sidewalk boxes, flowers on the tables, a fresh breeze…a good sign of more comfortable weather to come.

so, come on by with a friend (and a sweater at the moment) and enjoy something delicious and ring in spring (try anyway). Hope to see you soon.

and don’t forget about pancakes on sunday….below, a teaser…..

und auf “Deutsch”:

hallo freunde,

so, es sah aus als ob der Frühling kommt aber vielleicht doch nicht…wer weisst? aber wir versuchen optimistisch zu bleiben. aus ist schön gepflanzt und wir setzen Stühle draussen. Es ist wirklich nett da zu sitzen, komm einfach mit eine dicke Pulli an man!

Und vergiss nicht….Pancakes geben immer noch!….
