They have a unique customer loyalty program. For every four cups of coffee you buy, they give somebody else a free cup.
Every cup is served by an angry bureaucrat and accompanied by a stern lecture on gun control and sustainable development.
The store later went bankrupt because of spiraling employee pension costs.

Gay Ambassador Stevens emails finally released to Trey Growdy, in printed out paper form so he cant search them. Stevens was asking for more security from Day 1 in Benghazi.

Their yelp reviews are pretty good:

Look at the store’s logo, with the American Flag:
They want dunk the flag in coffee?…dunk the flag in some liquid?
Leave it to some “blue state people” to find a new way to desecrate The American Flag.
TR, You don’t think the logo is to imply that the coffee is so American that you can see the flag of the US (oriented properly, I think) in the steam?
TR is trying it.
The implication in the logo is that the coffee is so patriotic, the steam comes out in the form of an American flag.
Dunking the flag? Gawd, some of of you look only look for the sh!t lining.
Sorry, CrayCrayPatriot.
Didn’t know I had to check all of my comments with you, before posting them.
Forget to take the anti-megalomaniac pills, today? That’s OK. It happens.
Hm. The logo means the coffee is patriotic? Could be. I don’t think the company has told you and I.
But I think it’s wise not to build logos that could be misconstrued as insulting, or offensive.
Such as- I think it would be unwise to make a poster of the Harlem Globetrotters basketball team, that has big watermelons in the background.
The Harlem Globetrotters has a number of African-American people in it, by the way.
For what it’s worth- my line about pills was kind of unfair. That’s the way it goes. Mea Culpa.
On looking back on things:
I apologize for my reaction to your comment, CrayCrayPatriot.
I did not like the way you responded to my comment, but I feel I didn’t need to respond in very negative ways.
I was going through a lot of stresses, today- but I wish I could have responded in positive ways. That’s all.
I liked your line about the pills. I deserved it, because of my sassy tone.
And it’s not the best logo, but it does seem to express a sense of national pride. If they were really going for a dunk effect, there would be a hand in the upper right corner. Here is their mission statement:
Usually, businesses who are motivated by inspiring others, tend to use slogans/symbols which fit into that agenda. Dunking an American flag isn’t inspiring for anyone unless they’re consciously Hell-bent on driving this into the ground. Even in Saint ILC’s recent argument, that type isn’t represented in the demographic breakdown he copied straight from The Fountainhead.
If you google “blue state coffee logo,” you won’t see anything in the design that suggests wanting to go to Hell in a hand-basket, either (i.e. like a “rock and roll” or “heave metal” style rendering of their name). Instead, they use patriotic colors (red, white and blue), in a rather matter-of-fact drawing, giving a pretty generic effect.
Here is their story:
Here is their mission statement:
Does that really sound like people trying to dunk the American flag into a up of coffee? Based on what they’re doing and how they’re going about doing it, I believe those trying to be overly critical of them are just looking for the sh!t lining. And that’s too bad. Perhaps Saint ILC would like to address that negativity, but I’m guessing no.
:shrug:
Hope things get better for you.
Hi CrayCrayPatriot.
Sure, that’s totally cool.
Quite honestly, my 1st comment, #5, was poorly thought out, + poorly done by me.
In #5, I was aiming at saying: [ why did they choose a logo of a flag over a cup of coffee? Don’t they see that could be misinterpreted as ” drop a flag into some coffee?] Hm.
My thinking up [off-the-cuff] comments can lead to me making badly built comments. Oh well.
I forgot the lessons given to me by kids, when I was in 5th grade, lessons like: don’t do unneeded jeers like,
[ “Look-that coffee shop, or those people, look like a total jerk’. Because when you do, the coffee shop, or your targets can respond to jeers, by saying: “no, TR, YOU are a total jerk.”]
Meh. Well, I guess I had a couple of days of “Lacking noodle” or “Lacking brain”, as one cartoonist would say.
Anyhow, yeah- Blue State Coffee looks like a decent company. If their business practices are ones that I admire, and they probably are, then I’ll probably support them. Saying, that- I think they probably are nowhere near my town.
Thus endeth another TLDR comment. [Rolls eyes].
Thanks for hoping that my days will get better.
By the way: who is Saint ILC? I really do want to know.
Saint ILC is Jeff aka I Love Capitalism who is so precious, yet manages to survive living in the U.S. despite it being populated by 50% parasites or fascists (according to him). I don’t know how he does it. He must be a saint.
@13
Good to know. Thanks!
For anyone who might read the above comments, I know that CrayCrayPatriot knows what I meant, but:
When I wrote my original comment, comment number 5, I was wring it as a nasty-spirited joke. Not my best choice, but there we are.
I never believed that my comment, #5, would be taken seriously by people.
Or- as they say in Warner Brothers films:
That’s a joke, son. A joke, that is.
Have a Good Day, everyone.
