Pascal’s Announces Summer Hours

April 3, 2012

Posted by: admin @ 11:12 am

Pascal’s Coffee House of Gainesville will be slinging espresso Monday through Friday, 8AM to 6PM, all summer long (when UF is in session).

 
Now, there’s not a single thing wrong with summertime lattes, mochas, and Sweetwater Organic drip coffee. But the Pascal’s Baristas are serving up some of the best cold coffee in Gainesville and you don’t wanna miss that.

 
The Iced Thai Coffee is great with lots of cream, or just a splash of milk; either way, it’ll be your favorite cardamom-spiked coffee of the summer. Of course there’s the usual lineup of chillers, basically a light milk shake with a delicious coffee or tea (tea!) base. The straight Iced Coffee is cold-brewed overnight for a smooth, sweet, not-bitter-at-all-no-need-to-add-sugar glass of awesome.

 
But what’s really gonna change your life is the Iced Cuban Latte, where by some magic or sleight of hand the barista turns your drink all caramelly just by adding sugar. And this is just between me and you, but I suspect the Gainesville exclusive Kaffee Bonhoeffer might even make an appearance. Ask your barista about it next time you’re in Pascal’s.

Pascal’s Coffee House Open This Summer!

March 27, 2012

Posted by: admin @ 8:00 am

For the first time in five years, Pascal’s Coffee House of Gainesville will be open for summer. All summer long you can stop in for organically grown, fairly traded, Gainesvilley roasted, skillfully prepared, delicious coffee. Detailed hours to be posted soon.

Come find that slightly secluded table for Summer C studying or hang out on the green couches. Sip an Iced Thai or an iced tea. Have your office hours behind the fireplace or catch the late morning sun on the balcony. But whatever you do, bring a friend, drink some coffee, and have a summer at Pascal’s.

Know your drink

The process from coffee plant to roaster to your double latte on Monday morning is dizzying, to say the least. Check out Sweetwater Organic Coffee’s link to trace your coffee back to the farmer and the original price paid. All documents exhanged are open access.

Fair Trade Proof

Cinema at the Center

January 16, 2012

Posted by: admin @ 12:38 pm


Check out what’s happening at the Center! Join Pascal’s for warm Friday afternoon drink and then head to the back for a viewing of “Stranger than Fiction” at 6pm.
This Friday, January 20 Cinema at the Center – Why Movies Matter

What is it that is so enticing about walking into that black box that we call the movie theatre? Over the years filmmakers have demonstrated the incredible versatility of this relatively nascent medium. But how do we approach movies in a way that recognizes why they matter? Over the course of the semester we will be considering the ways in which movies are worthy of genuine and considered reflection. While it may be true that we often watch movies for entertainment, the reality is that many movies have more to offer than a two hour break for our brains. Indeed, the best movies encourage us to be reflective about our lives and our communities often while entertaining us at the same time. Each of the presenters in this series will offer us an exemplary film that posits an answer to the question of the significance of movies.

Led by Lauren Glenn, Stephen Addcox, Melanie Brunell,
and Sean O’Neil
Friday evenings, 6:00-9:30 pm. Jan 20, Feb 17, Mar 16, and Apr 13

Pascal’s Poetry Contest Has a Winner!

October 18, 2011

Posted by: admin @ 10:09 pm

Congratulations to Martha Krystaponis Wingfield for winning the first ever Pascal’s Coffee House Poetry Contest. Folks from Gainesville and beyond sent in great poems, and our esteemed panel of judges chose the author of “My Husband’s Coffee” to receive a Pascal’s Coffee House mug and some coffee of her own.

 

My Husband’s Coffee

I have wondered if my husband loves his coffee

more than his wife. Some mornings, he looks—

not into my bleary eyes—but into the gleaming

trickle of our coffeepot. He needs his coffee

to see the dust motes

dancing in the morning sunlight; two cups to make

his smile authentic; perhaps three and

a ginger scone to fill him with strength.

Coffee is his own version of Popeye’s spinach.

I simply want to be near him.

His masculine smell fills my belly with a clean

silent strength, more than the aroma of roasted beans.

He makes me feel like I am the wind—there is singing

in my pores, in my veins.

 

-Martha Krystaponis Wingfield
