The Clarion March 31. 1995 Page 8 ARTS&LEISURE Coffeehouse brings taste of culture to Brevard Sejan Yun Clarion Staff Writer When I first walked into Essence of Thyme, the smells of fresh brewing coffee and baked muffins hit my nos trils, sending my tastebuds into over drive. The atmosphere was especially cozy and inviting, with its cheerful lighting coming in from the front glass windows and calming background music of Bach. The people working there were openly friendly and worked hard at making their customers feel right at home. Essence of Thyme first opened on December 3 of last year, on the Night of Twilight Tour. The owner, Mary Dehon, decided to open the cafe be cause she felt that Brevard needed a place where people could relax and enjoy a steaming cup of coffee. "I’ve lived here for years, always loved this area, and I wanted my own business. I thought Brevard was ready!" They have had a good response from their customers. "People love the atmosphere and enjoy our drinks and music." Their menu offers many varieties for those connoisseurs of coffee. The all-time favorites are cappucinos, with an array of flavors to choose from such as Almond, Vanilla, Chocolate Mint, and Cinnamon. Other favorites include their Italian sodas, Granita drinks, and their Dreamsicle drink. They have TCBY yogurt, hot apple cider, and even Film Festival set for April Lara Sweet Clarion Asst.
