Caps for Sale


The Someday Café (already mentioned in The Transformation Café) is found at the center of Davis Square in Somerville, Ma. Every morning, since March 1993, I’ve had one cap (cappuccino) at the Someday Café on my way to work (that’s over 3000 caps at the time of this writing). Great coffee, great people.

The design comes from Esphyr Slobodkina’s fantastic children’s book, "Caps for Sale." I not only fondly remember hearing it as a kid watching Captain Kangaroo, I also enjoyed reading it to my son when he was little.

Naturally, the tree is full of capuchin monkeys.
