cafe name

Okay, off topic and a little weird... but there are lots of clever people
here so I thought I'd ask.

I'm trying to come up with a new name for the little cafe we run
in our h.s. library. We want the name to have a "literary bent."
For example, I saw a cafe called "Cup and Chaucer" once and thought
that was clever. Doubt most of our students would make the connection but
you get the idea.

A couple of other names on my list a

Great Expectations

Anyway, I'm looking for more ideas! I've just been sitting here
starrrrrring at a blank page then wandering the web aimlessly with
nothing *smart* coming to mind.

Maybe a fresh mind will come up with something!

Thanks!

You could add some light classical music, and call it "Tea and Symphony"

What does the cafe sell? That would help with the naming.


Muffins from a local bakery. Juices. Water. Fruit and fruit cups.
Frappuccino. Coffee & tea (99% teacher sales on coffee & tea).
Hot chocolate and hot cider. Pickles! (They're popular.) Noodles.

This year the jazz band will occasionally play and we will have
open mic sessions for poetry.

We also have a distinct "southwest environment" in the main
part of the library (we're located in the Mojave Desert). We had
originally considered a sw theme for the cafe (e.g. Javelina Cantina ).
But we've decided to try for a lit connection....

How about Chapters Cafe?

Are there any local authors whose names might work in?

Call it "Table of Contents" and then make the menu like the table of
contents for a book.

You can call it "Darwin's selection" (The was once a captain (Fitzroy) who
brought a companion along his little boat (called the "Beagle") who wrote a
few books on nature and natural selection after the trip, so he is a famous
author). Darwin also wrote a famous treatises on earthworms and coral reefs,
too.

You can call it "Tolkien's Tales" or "canaberry tales" and have the drinks
and food named after characters in Tolkiens or Chaucer's books. And serve
the foods that they ate in Bree or Caneberry, like cakes.

You could have it called the "Book of the month club" and have each class
come up with a new book to theme to cafe. The best theme gets a party with
the proceeds from the cafe for the year, or each class gets a party with the
proceeds from the cafe for the month. That way, each class has to do
something literary on their own.

All the best,

Jeff

Southwest? The Cacti Chronicles Cafe? One of our Library coffee shops here
is named: The Novel Café. (I always thought that quite clever.)
Good Luck,

I'm still a bit new to the area but I don't think so. Well, Dean
Martin's son wrote a book! (This is Las Vegas.)

Mark Twain lived and wrote in the state for a while tho. I've
been digging thru some Twain stuff to see if I can come up with
something.

Joni, why not get the students involved in this rather than you thinking it
up? Run a contest and pick 5 names, then have the students vote for their
favorite. Have some kind of a prize for the person who thinks of the
winning name. Give them the guidelines to use a literary related name and
then let them have at it.

Tracey in CT

You mean, like "The Picket Fence?" With the names of the food and drink all
references to Huck Finn and Tommy Sawyer?
