More Coffee Shop Art

Coffee Cat loves coffee shop art! From the coffee-themed art hanging on the walls, to open mic nights and performances of local musicians, you can find it all at locally-owned coffee shops. I’ve blogged before about an oasis in downtown Winston-Salem, and it’s time to blog again about the Community Arts Café.

Imagine Coffee Cat’s delight when I introduced Mr. Espresso to this gem and he, too, loved it! Songwriter’s Roundtable, Songwriter’s Sound off, a Carousel, comedy improv, and a jazz performance have given us some great nights on the town in Winston-Salem. We can enjoy on-the-verge-of-hitting-the-big-time artists for a tiny cover charge ($5 or $10). To make the deal even sweeter, we can enjoy coffee, wine, or both! And delicious treats like sweet potato quesadillas and chicken salad sandwiches. Did I mention the brownies?

When there’s a performance starting at 7 and you just can’t quite get your work day to end, don’t worry. Just show up at the CAC and enjoy a lite dinner, coffee, desert, wine, and stunning performances all in one room. The Underground Theater is cozy, elegant, and popular! So, be sure to get there on time for a table! Let Jim and Cathy know you appreciate what they’re doing for local artists, and show your support with a bit o’ green in the tip jars!
