COFFEE BEAN!!!

When Sarah and I arrived last May, there was sign in front of a building downtown Ivanovo that said "Coffee Bean: OPENING SOON!" We were so excited! It looked like a real, western-style coffeehouse... OH, the possibilities! By August, the sign was still there and we decided to forget about it! It was hopeless! But after Christmas, we got this glorious, smoke-free, alcohol-free, comfy-cozy coffeehouse... ahhhh... it was worth the wait!!!
On April 22, we hope to host an 'Open Mic Night' here... It's a new concept in Russia, but we hope that the community enjoys it!


The inside of the CoffeeBean... how clean and neat and nice!
My friend, Sveta, and I... it's our favorite place to meet ;)

One of the big windows that give a great view of downtown! No snow and ice= many Russians taking walks!! :)
