Matt Comins Staff Writer Formerly known as the Whacha You Want Bodega, founded in 2001, and later as Bubacz Signature Brw Cof- fee Roasting Company | and Caf in 2006, John Bubacz has been growing his business successfully in downtown Sylva. It was originally lo- cated in a building that burned down, where Noble Hall currently is. After a few location changes, it is now across the street from the Sylva Herald. The building next door burned down in August of 2014 and caused Motion Makers Bike Shop to vacate this space. After the rehab of this building, we moved in and started building up what has become our cur- rent wine and coffee bar, said Bubacz. Bubacz offers fresh roasted coffee, with the roasting process now tak- ing place off-site. Custom- ers can purchase coffee by the pound, in addition to enjoying a freshly pre- pared cup. We prepare a wide variety of specialty cof- fees including the fla- vored latte favorites, but made with our brand of only organic, fair trade and rainforest certified coffees. We recently expanded and now serve beer, sake, cider and wine-by-the-glass. We have six taps with local beers. In the Spring, we will add kombucha, wine and nitro coffee on tap plus install the neces- sary equipment to make frappes, said Bubacz. Customers can down- load a free mobile app called Perka, available on iPhone or Android, which enables them to take advantage of free coffee through a rewards system. Bubacz also hosts events like wine tast- ings and live entertain- ment. Open door poetry night, silent film night, a farmers market benefit brunch and other happen- ings at the local farmers market have been some of Bubaczs past events. Customers can visit the shop to learn more about upcoming events. Bubacz also subscribes to what he referred to as the triple bottom line which include people, planet and prot t. As part of a formal audit, Bubacz calculates what impact his business has on people and the environment before he makes note of the amount of profit he is bringing in. This successful caf received an average, out of 58 reviews, of 4.8 stars out of 5 on Facebook Owner John Bubacz with Deborah Denmark Business. Exceptional service, delicious food, and a warm, inviting atmosphere are all part of what makes this coffee shop a local favorite. Love the atmosphere. Its friendly and authentic with local artists work on the walls, NPR news or pleasant music, but not too loud to disturb an in- trovert trying to concen- trate and get some work done. Excellent baked goods and fresh healthy foods, said customer and physical therapist Sae Smyrl. Oh, and the cof fee is tasty too, but I only drink black so I cannot comment on the fancy coffees. John is there for the long haul and truly invested in serving only the best quality food and drinks. Did I mention that he serves the best scones I have ever put in my mouth? Smyrls positive review is one of many. It seems that, between the excep- tional quality of food and coffee, as well as frequent events, lively customers and employees, Bubaczs coffee shop has been, and will likely continue to be, a success amid Down- town Sylva. T was pleasantly surprised today with my random trip to Signature Brew! Their zesty chicken salad wrap is phenom- enal and the spicy black chips were too! Topped it off with a really yammy vanilla latte. Perfection! Highly recommend this Photo by Katie Greene/STAFF restaurant & looking forward to my next visit & trying something else from their great menu, said Brittany Elders Gass. Located on 552 West Main St. in Sylva, first- time customers are encouraged to stop in and previous customers are always welcomed. back.
