Howie’s Corner is excited and pleased to announce the upcoming grand opening of our new coffeehouse located at 98 Main Street in downtown Cathlamet.  The shop will be open Tuesday September 29th with a grand opening celebration on Saturday October 3rd.

Please join us as we open our doors to a newly remodeled and inviting atmosphere, where you can sit down and enjoy an iced coffee or tea in the summer or a wonderful hot beverage in the winter.  We will be carrying a choice of gourmet coffees and teas to include Longbottom and Equitas Organic blends as well as various tea labels, all made by our formally trained baristas.  Breakfast pastries and bagels will be available at this time and home made soups to follow this fall.  Our hours are set for 7:30a-3:30p Mon-Sat.

One thing we believe in is giving back to the community.  At Howie’s Corner & Coffeehouse, 10 cents from every cup sold will go back to the community.  Every 3 months we will donate the proceeds to a local organization or not-for-profit group in the community. We look forward to lending a hand to various organizations in the area.

So stop by for a cup ‘o joe, specialty drink, or pastry and relax or say “Hi” to friends and neighbors.  We welcome you and hope to see you soon!!
