Photos of Christine's Coffee Shop!

I was excited to make a trip to Christine's (Rob's sister) coffee shop that is opening at the end of the month. Here's the street view of Christine's coffee shop "Grounds for Dessert." It's a great location near the main commercial/pedestrian area of Iowa City. For those who know Iowa City, it's just down the street from the Sheraton, next door to a large parking structure. Christine has done lots of work on the shop! Painting (love the colors), ordering equipment and furniture, tiling the floors, etc. It's really a great space-- I was surprised by how large it is.
This is the coffee, waffles, register, etc. area of the coffee shop. And there's Maddie in the right corner.
The blue area is the bakery section where Nate will be making cakes and other desserts-- for the coffee shop and for special order.
Christine did all the tile herself, so I had to take photos to show everyone what an amazing job she did! That had to have been so much work! That's a lot of surface area to cover! These are Nate's baking supplies inside the baking area.

Christine and Bill are standing in the "office" section of the shop.




This is the men's bathroom. The mirror still has to go up.
And this vibrant blue bathroom is the women's bathroom. Christine did a super job painting.
Here's the view from the back of the cafe to the front. Lots of great natural light from all the windows.
And this is the view from the front of the cafe to the back. The blue wall is where the bakery will be, and the green area to the left is where the coffee and register and everything else will be.
