Next time you're in town!!!

They had two satellite stores at two malls but they didn't last long. One
that was at the Springfield Mall nearby me even had a coffee section with
fresh brewed coffees of all kinds for purchase. The place smelled GREAT and
so did the mall for 50 feet coming or going past the entrance! I think it
backfired in that passers by could buy a cup from a walk-up window without
entering the store. Most folks who didn't know Fante's forté probably
assumed they were only in the coffee biz.

A pity.
