Where can I purchase a cup of coffee to go at Brownwood?
 
Knowing that Brownwood is in it's infancy stage and has lots more growing to do...where can I purchase a cup of coffee to go?

Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, or a gas station

On almost any Saturday stop by my house. I will brew you a cup, put it in a travel mug, and you can follow us to the farmer's market at Brownwood. A great way to start the weekend and a great way to stock up on fresh produce, veggies, and a whole assortment of great treats - and now even the best orange juice I have ever had.

Do you mean a coffee vending machine or a kiosk?

There is no "anchor" store in Brownwood yet ....... need a Panera or Starbucks and then Brownwood will take off.

When I wrote this post I should have written the following:

When Spanish Springs Town Square was the "hub" for everything in TV the Sales Office was magnificent and they had the nicest cafeteria where the sales people would sit and have coffee and talk with you, and anyone and everyone coming through or living in TV at that time could come into the cafeteria and get a coffee and muffin. Now there are other places in SS for morning coffee.

Then when LSL became the "hub" they built an incredible building with an interior much like a Gentlemen's Club which was the Sales Office, and they had a coffee shop which was delightful, very elegant with wait staff. Now Panera's has taken over that building and it's still a great place to drop in for coffee etc.

What have they, are they, doing in Brownwood? Is there a Sales Office there, what is the draw for just coming through the square. A good coffee shop would bring people in from walking, running or whatever, to sit and have a morning coffee. Sounds like a great opportunity for an entrepreneur.

But, having watched how the family operate over the past few years, I have to believe they have something in mind for Brownwood.

Madelaine...
I have no doubt a coffee shop (hopefully Starbuck's) is on the horizon for Brownwood. For now, does anyone know if I could get a cup of coffee to go at City Fire? I'm not talking about morning coffee... I would like to get a cup of coffee in the evening when we are at the square listening to the entertainment. I need a break from Mudslides, Margaritas and Pina Coladas. Thanks.

Yes, you can...just walk up to the outside bar and ask. They seem happy to serve.

There is a girl with a booth with a white tent canopy on the square with all the others. She has a selection of coffees there each week, with a different featured one. They are Columbian roast, Ethiopian etc. etc. She hands you a cup of coffee to go and there is always a small line of people in front of her table. She has sugar, creamer, etc. right there. People say it is great. I would say that but I am not a coffee drinker.

The sales office is open. I have not been in it. Go check it out and get a coffee.

The sales office is open so go down and get a coffee and check it out.

I've been to Paddock Square three times in the evening to listen music. I haven't seen this girl and her white tent. Where is she located? Thank you for the info.

Is the sale's office open in the evening? If so, how late are they there?

We were told by the LSL Starbucks, that they would NOT be going to Brownwood. :(
