native_Houstonian Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Last time I drove by, about a week ago, I think it was still vacant and up for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heights_dood Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I always thought it would be kind of fun to own and work in a coffee shop. But, I know my dreams of working for myself may not match the reality of all the hours it would take to get the business off the ground, running smoothly and becoming profitable.

Guest Malvoe Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Unfortunately, that isn't a great location for a coffee shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan the Man Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Last week I noticed someone was doing some work on the old Yale Street Coffee House building (Yale @ ~25th?). Yesterday, I noticed a sign announcing a new restaurant. I think it said something about Macaroni & Cheese, but I was driving too fast to read it. Sounds like it could be an interesting concept, maybe like those restaurants where you can order a custom omlette? Anyone have any info?

She will be incorporating sustainable and green practices in the business, and will focus on showcasing music and art by Houston artists.The name was inspired by Love Street Light Circus and Feel Good Machine, a Houston club open in the late 1960's that had psychedelic music with bands like the 13th Floor Elevators and The Moving Sidewalks.

heights_yankee Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Too narrow a niche. Dumb idea.agree to a point. my kids will eat m'n'c daily but i am still trying to lose to the pregnancy weight so where does that leave me? i can see it being fun for families, so there they might have some success with the concept BUT i imagine it being hard to get a regular customer, so there fail.it also makes me laugh b/c there are people in this world, like my husband, who won't eat there on principle if they serve more than just mac'n'cheese b/c the name says it's just mac'n'cheese.

sevfiv Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Well I'm still excited and wish them the best of luck! Sure beats a quotidian alternative (even though the food type is basic it will be interesting to see what they come up with).. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Well, I hope it takes off, but it will need quite a bit of word of mouth to bring customers in for the comfort food. I know I'd give it a shot if I was in the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMME Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Too narrow a niche. Dumb idea.Not really. Mac n cheese can have all kinds of meats, seafood and vegetables. Has mega possibilities of pastas. Fettuccine alfredo is a sort of mac and cheese. I, for one, can't wait. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jus Mac Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Hello All, We understand some people will not totally agree with the concept and its viability but we're up for the challenge. Yes, you can do a lot with Mac and Cheese...as mentioned already. As much as I'd like to give out the full menu I'll wait till the opening date gets closer. For those that are curious though, we do have over 20 different varieties with more to come but not all will be rolled out at the same time and yes there are some gourmet versions like our "Park Avenue" (Hint-Truffle). Individuals who are watching their figures can opt for one of our salads with homemade dressings. Lets not forget about delicious desserts! And no...this isnt your Kraft Mac and Cheese You can follow our progress http://www.facebook.com/jusmac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintCyr Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I hope there's like a gourmet mac with gruyere or something...We had mac and cheese (with Guyere) while visiting Guyere in Switz.... It was A-M-A-ZING! Had potatoes mixed in with it and I can see myself gaining lots of weight if they do offer it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fringe Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I lived on Kraft Macaroni and Cheese for over a year after I moved out of my parents house when I was a teenager. Although I can appreciate the concept, I don't think I could actually patronize such a place. Perhaps if my kids were still little but then again they enjoyed the cheap stuff just fine.

SaintCyr Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Too narrow a niche. Dumb idea.I've been instructed to post this per the wife. "Open your mind, my dear “Dumb Idea” friend. Mac n’ cheese is anything but narrow. Have you ever thought of what’s in most of Italian food dishes? Pasta, cheese, sauce…. Hmmmm… sounds a bit like the ingredients to your Plain Jane mac n’ cheese. I dare you to put on your creativity cap for a sec, and think about all the wonderful variations there could be to this fine traditional dish. Perhaps some pancetta could spice up your oversized macaroni noodles, or a different type of cheese beyond the powder and/or Velveeta (try Gouda, Grueyere, or a nice Alfredo sauce), or they might even be able to add …gasp?!... VEGETABLES?!!! I invite you to give it a whirl. You may be surprised what others can do to open your closed minded taste buds. I’d truly hate to see you miss out…."Mrs. D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
