Extended Bio Profile:
To put it simply...Feed the people with true choice! At Old School Coffee Stop we strive to prepare and cook a meal that will satisfy the hunger and sooth the soul while allowing our customers to choose even the price that they will pay. With our laid back peaceful atmosphere and specialty dishes prepared fresh, we hope to bring the comfort of your back patio and fine dining together. Most of all we hope that our customers can leave satisfied and adapting our motto...Don't Worry...Be happy!
We, Lonnie, Julie, Matthew and Katie are a simple family of four that love people and love to cook. Old School Coffee Stop was an abstract idea that came to life one day while driving down the road. The idea involved a restaurant kitchen and a creative way to build it. On this day of normal errand running, we noticed a school bus for sale. So, idea in mind and school bus in hand, we built the kitchen INSIDE the bus (innovative, no?). After completing the kitchen in the bus, we pondered the question: "where will customers rest their feet while they enjoy our food?" Shortly thereafter we discovered an opening next to Jungle Adventures animal habitat. Being outdoorsy types ourselves, it seemed like a grand idea. So, the innovative people we are, we built an outdoor bistro right next to the pond filled with alligators (have no fear the gators are harmless, like pets, and there is a fence for safety). After all the building and work, we have come to rest at our little cafe awaiting your arrival.
