Napa Valley Coffee Roasting Company welcomes performers to an Open Mic Night at its Napa location (948 Main Street, corner of First and Main) on May 4. The Roasting Company will supply an acoustic guitar, a microphone, amp, bongos and power strip. “We are aiming for a mellow night of acoustic music and poetry,” explains Napa manager Amber Bohan.

 

The open mic program will run from 7:00 until 9:00 p.m. There is no charge for entrance---although coffee drink purchases are highly encouraged! Sign-ups will start at 6:00 p.m.

 

“We will be introducing our new Chai Frappe,” adds Bohan. The drink, $4.95, is a blended sweet and spicy refreshment. When tea leaf meets clove, cardamom, cinnamon, and ginger, well, it just works on so many levels. “We invite people to come to our first Open Mic Night of the year and get 10% off the new Chai Frappe,” Bohan says.

 

The Napa Valley Roasting Company has also just begun summer hours: in Napa, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 6:30 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. Hours on Sunday – Wednesday will be from 6:30 a.m. until 6:00 p.m..
