Make New Friends at the Classic Cup

Our resident Waverly Woods coffee shop, The Classic Cup, has recently made some changes. Last month, owners Phyllis Greenbaum and Pete Cook switched to 100 percent organic, fair trade, shade-grown, kosher coffee from Dean’s Beans in Orange, Mass. They welcome your feedback on their new flavors.

For those who do not yet know the pair, Phyllis and Pete first met in 1979 when they began working together at Patuxent Publishing Co., the publisher of this newspaper. In March of 1997, they founded The View newspapers, which they sold a decade later to Patuxent Publishing. They then purchased The Classic Cup in September 2007.

One of Phyllis and Pete’s goals, which is near and dear to my heart, is to bring neighbors closer together. Some of their customers have expressed an interest in forming both a book club and a knitting circle that will meet at the coffee shop. If you are interested in joining one of these groups, look for the signup sheets on the bulletin board at The Classic Cup. The phone number is 410-750-7200.
