I swung past Veneziano, West End, Brisbane today around midday and they did not have the Beanbay orders as yet. Enjoyed a lovely flat white and chatted about coffee with a few other customers. So was a pleasant trip.

Thanks Caelblue1.

I am going to ring Veneziano Monday 2pm to check, and will report back at around 3pm. I live out at Ipswich so can only swing by after work (work in Bris.)

Looking forward to trying their coffee when I pick my beans up.

I assume they meant to say that they didnt have them ready for pickup yet?

They arrived Thursday according to the courier company.

...only if you can fit into a courier satchel or box
;D

Thanks for that
It still sounds yum even as a recipe (lots of things to pinch rom the bowl and stick your fingers in). Ill see if I can get my kids to have a go at it... they all love to cook.

I know they are providing a free service and it takes time out of their day....... but I still feel a little sad that my beans have spent four days at someone elses house when I could be roasting greens and sipping the browns....... They also missed out on three customers, my wife and kids wont be there for the pick-up now, I will still stop for a coffee or two though if time permits........

Re: BeanBay GREEN sale - 7th June 2010

I dropped in to Veneziano (Bris) on Saturday morning to pick up my two bags and they said they werent ready, so naturally I was a bit disappointed. However they were quite busy really (I had a great doppio while I was ther as well) and I can understand that having someone moving away from the counter to get numerous CSers beans would be a real hassle for them. In reality, Saturday is probably not a good day to pick up greens!

Anyhow, just rang Veneziano, and the greens are now ready for pick-up!

Cheers
