Java-Gourmet Company Store & Black Cat Bistro

Today is the 1 year anniversary of the WHO declaring the pandemic. Inspired by watching the news last night, I went back through my camera reel on my cellphone to see the last picture I took before this unprecedented year began. This was March 9, 2020...seemed normal enough...Bear sleeping on Brian's lap...there's been plenty of that in the last 365 days! #somethingsneverchange #lookingforward #blackcatsmatter #wemadeit #feelinggrateful #thinkspring

We're reopening the kitchen today! ToGo only, but the deck will be available "weather permitting" We'd love to see you this weekend! #coffee #cappucino #breakfast #lunch #snacks #keukalake #blackcatbistro

I always look forward to my fortune cookies! After an 8 hour drive back ftom Maine , we decided to pick up "Chinese take out" as we came through Penn Yan...it was yummy! But, I felt like Ralphie in the Christmas Story when he got his "Ovaltine decoder ring" and decoded the message....my fortunes were "to quote Ralphie", "a crummy commercial"...lol #2020census #canyourelate #homesweethome #keukalake
