The Tinker Bean

After a month of vacationing with our visitors from Arizona I'm struggling to get back into my daily schedule.  Here I am, though, finally getting our March 27 Crawl posted.

Just before we left PE for a 10-day road trip with our friends, Crawler Leanne Waller told me about a new coffee shop in town called The Tinker Bean, located at 250 Main Rd. in Walmer.  While we were away Crawler June Nash was kind enough to make the booking for the March 27 Crawl at The Tinker Bean for me.  Thank you, June!

Must Have Coffee!

The Tinker Bean opened for business on March 7, 2014, just three weeks before our Crawl to the shop.  Owner Arjenique De Jager, barista Terrance, and The Tinker Bean waitstaff were not fazed by the 21 Crawlers, Beth Vieira, Stella and Beryl Dawson, Sylvia Mynhardt, June Nash, Leanne Waller, Jackie and David Dudek, Margaret Zoetmulder, Colleen Le Roux, Margaret and Arthur Marshall, Nomusa Nkomo, Gail Darne, Celeste Hudson, Lee Rodwell, Nicolette Hijmans, Pierrette De Winne, Elize Pretorius, Dale Mitchell, who showed up hungry and thirsty on Crawl Day.  Like a well-oiled machine, The Tinker Bean staff went about serving numerous rounds of House of Coffee brand beverages plus breakfast and cakes for the duration of our three hour visit.

My cappuccino was very good but by second round coffee milkshake was outstanding and very refreshing especially with it being so warm that day.  I'm not much of a milkshake drinker but I highly recommend The Tinker Bean coffee shake.....amazing stuff!!!

The Tinker Bean Coffee Shop is situated in a renovated house on Main Rd. with off road parking available.  The shop seats approximately 56 patrons inside and on the patio.  There is a children's play area on the property which makes The Tinker Bean a wonderful place for a Moms and Tots morning out.
The menu offers breakfast, lunch, cakes, and take-ways.  The Tinker Bean chef will also make pre-ordered quiche, chicken pie and apple pie for pick-up.....to order, call 0716236990.  The Tinker Bean's hours are Mon-Sat, 8-4; Sun, 8-1.

This week's weather forecast looks to be beautiful....sunny with nice temps.....the perfect time to enjoy a coffee, tea, or even better, a shake on the patio of PE's newest coffee shop!

~Thank you to Arjenique and The Tinker Bean staff....best wishes on your new business venture!
