Corbett Coffee Plant

Open 7 - 5 M-Sa, 9 - 3 Sun

I am featuring a bunch of new pieces, and it is a great neighborhood shop on the west side.  Sorry Lake O, one and done with you guys.  If by chance you are one of the folks who complained about the ill fated and short lived Blue Moon show, steer clear of Coffee Plant, there are 2 devils now, and a vampire.  Not to mention the witch doctor…….you’ve been forewarned.
