JAZZMAN’S CAFÉ GETS INTO THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT AT URSINUS
November 2007

With the holiday season just around the corner,Jazzman’s is gearing up for its “jolly good time of the year.”The popular coffee shop will introduce new drinks, gifts,and a new look for the U r s i n u s community. “As it gets colder, e v e r y o n e likes hot chocolate,” s a i d Jazzman’s s t u d e n t worker Lane Taylor. The coffee shop located in Zack’s is currently planning for its holiday season. Taylor does not mind working with Jazzman’s customers. Compared to her previous food court experience, the Ursinus community has been nothing but great. “I think what affects our mood most is the customers,” smiled Taylor. “They are really nice!” To satisfy its customers, Jazzman’s is spicing up their look for the holidays. It starts by sporting new winterthemed shirts. Last year’s design was on a light blue shirt
with images of snowflakes and cute penguins.

This year, all Jazzman’s workers will receive new shirts available in long and short sleeves. The coffee shop plays its signature CD of eclectic jazz titled “Jazzman’s Special Blend.” The music goes with the jazz theme of the store. To add to the mood, holiday inspired decorations line the glass casing and coffee canisters. The shop really gets into decorating and bringing in the holiday season just right. “We’re even selling notebooks this year,” said an excited Taylor. Jazzman’s is
well-known for its unique gift collection. Each year it sells packs of coffee, tea, mugs, trinkets, and more. Taylor added. “The people with block meal plans tend to buy the gifts at the end of the semester.”

In the food and drink department, Jazzman’s w i l l serve its t a s t y Pumpkin Smoothie. It was s u c cessful with students in the past, so the shop plans on bringing it back to the menu. There will also be the Bombay Salad, an Indian influenced dish that is sure to please. Be on the lookout for Egg Nog and last year’s popular Peppermint Hot Chocolate. Taylor said “I’m not positive, but I heard the peppermint hot chocolate is coming back.”

The Ursinus community will be waiting for these tasty limited time only offers from the Jazzman’s franchise. Taylor and her co-workers look forward to the holiday season. Taylor said with a smile, “We all get a little stressed, but there is a surge of customers to serve.” With final exams on the way, students will be in need of late night snacks and hot beverages to keep them energized. Jazzman’s
will once again be the number one spot on campus for great
food, music and holiday spirit.
