10 years fly by at Comma Coffee

I don't usually write about individual business in town but this time I had to make an exception. This Nevada Day will be very special to Ms. June and her inspiring coffee shop as she stands there looking at her dream that became reality. Drop in this Nevada Day enjoy the pure magic of Comma Coffee a place that has showcased everything from drum night, open mic and yes, even belly dancing. June has achieved a common place where an array of very talent individuals can gather and expand their own dreams. Grab a mocha and of course a birthday cupcake and give June a big hug for allowing so many the opportunity to explore their paths and making our community a lot more entertaining.
