Coliseum Coffee Works

Not only is .woods open, but they have the best ice cubes on Earth. This is a negroni. I also had a spirit-free gin and tonic that was excellent. In the old firehouse. Great neighborhood bar vibe. Go.

This is the espresso setup that Coliseum built its reputation on. This morning Leslie and I went to go see it and its new home at The Green Mug in Cobden. & Katie (couldn’t tag ya) are pulling great shots and serving a menu of super high quality drinks and food. You should check them out!

Hey everyone. Quick update for you all. Leslie is 7 months pregnant and we’re very excited to welcome a new barista to the McGee crew this Spring. But that means we can’t do much with Coliseum. There simply isn’t enough time or energy to work full time jobs and run a side business with a little baby. Where things will go in the future, I can’t say. I do want to say a THANK YOU to everyone that let us set up, hired us, and that came out and supported us. We were always busy and that was awesome. See you around town. - Rob & Leslie
