Holding a Coffee Club Meet – 101

Holding a coffee club meet can sometimes be a logistical nightmare…

Imagine having a roaming event where the number of attendees is not guaranteed; then imagine that the people attending arrive whenever they want. That’s just a couple of things that need consideration…and we haven’t started discussing the settling of the bill yet.

In most cases eateries need the details, they want to know at what time and specifically how many people will be attending their establishments; since the coffee club is and always will remain a casual, non-obligatory gathering of people, we dare to challenge establishments and their demands for these details – Simply, because we can’t provide them. Often we have to arrange in advance and let eateries know of our unique situation; it can be quite tedious at times, so it’s nice to have coffee club meets at places that have an infrastructure that’s conducive to having coffee club meets once in a while.

Ecco il Cafe has an extremely coffee club friendly environment, they have a self service counter where you order up front and pay as you go; so people can come and go as they please also there is no hassling with bills at the end. Ecco is still amongst one of my favourite coffee spots as their coffees are excellent, they have delicious food and all at very reasonable prices.

Best of all they always serve with a smile and do just the little extra to make you feel special. Check out the cool chalk board message they made us on our last meet:
