Well tonight at the Coffee Garden we a young man ask if we could be open around 5:30 or 6 o'clock because he wanted to propose to his girlfriend out of the back patio they had met at the Coffee Garden so we acted as we were open so she would not suspect anything and as I was bringing out Chai latte for them he got down on one knee and asked the question and the answer was yes they we both so happen and I was happen to do this for them so once again The Coffee Garden has put two people together and that make me very happy this is about the 5 or 6th time someone had ask that question that I know about so if you have asked that question at the Coffee Garden We would like to hear your story by the way he had this ring box I think had a build I lite or something or just one hell of a stone Thanks Michael CG
