Amocat Cafe "Making of Trailer" Released on Volcano's Spew!

Check out the latest breaking news on imminent opening of Amocat Cafe from Tacoma's Weekly Volcano via Spew Today:

_____________________

BETTER THAN A SHOT OF ESPRESSO

The Tacoma Urbanist, who drinks this cocktail, sent us a video of the making of the Amocat Cafe marketing trailer.

Revealed in the video are the "drinks" that will be available at the new downtown Tacoma coffee house, which might open in a couple weeks - you know how those things go. The video shows the new paint inside one of the three rooms in Amocat - some walls are gold, others are red.

You can also see Amocat owner Morgan Alexander ripping the paper away from the windows during the shot. Amocat will be using "Go Local" products such as Valhalla Coffee, tea from Mad Hat and many other local products. However, they flew in New York City-based journalist Heather Robinson to star in this video.

by Erik on 5/21/2010 @ 10:57am	Thanks Kevin. They are fun to make. I am still trying to get the trailer produced. Amocat should be open within the next couple weeks from what I hear. Here is one of the latest pictures: Mystery Door #2: The rich red at Amocat turned out really well.

by Dave_L on 5/29/2010 @ 9:05pm	Very nice gathering, and the joint looks great! Thanks for the hospitality, Morgan. Lots of good friends there, including some I hadn't seen in a while. And I met a few new ones, too. It was really cool for Robyn and Jason from the Villa Caffe & Imbibery to close their shop for a few hours, leave a sign on their door, hang out and help Morgan pull some coffee drinks. Did I understand correctly that the Amocat will be officially open on Tuesday?
by Erik on 5/29/2010 @ 9:48pm	Scene from the well attended party tonight: Original Stowe art revealed at Amocat:
by morgan on 5/29/2010 @ 11:36pm	Thanks all to who helped paint and prep and prepare for the party. That was fun! Why can't we do that every day? ! Yes, Dave - ready or not - Amocat opens next weekend Tuesday. Love the thumbs up from Stowe! Robyn made my machine rock like I don't know how! I have some catching up to do! yes, the Villa is a great addition to the Tacoma scene - more so now with the addition of "Mr. Tacoma" to their drink menu - YUM!
by NineInchNachos on 5/30/2010 @ 12:01am	can't wait to get juiced up there Morgan!
by L.S.Erhardt on 5/30/2010 @ 3:04pm	Does Amocat have good Hot Chocolate? Not everyone likes coffee, ya know
by morgan on 5/30/2010 @ 7:52pm	Thanks RR! TO'T: Yes. The plan is to have a standard grade chocolate and also a deluxe grade chocolate - I just need to re-locate a local supplier of the deluxe chocolate (it's made by Guittard... mmm.)
by Altered Chords on 5/30/2010 @ 8:49pm	TO'T deserves nothing but the deluxe grade chocolate
