This morning on my way to work in downtown Raleigh I made a quick stop at Morning Times on Hargett Street. The cafe has been closed since Sunday so they can remodel the interior, but the 2012 South East Regional Barista Champion, Lem Butler and 2012 Brewers Cup Champ, Jonathan Bonchak (both of Counter Culture Coffee) were set up on the sidewalk outside early this morning to serve the Monday morning crowd free shots of espresso and pour over coffees.
Check back here for an update on the newly renovated space at Morning Times. I hear when they open back up they will have a new menu and house made pastries!
