- 0:21Speaker 1: drive up cafe near the intersection of US Route thirty
- 0:24Speaker 1: four in Ogden Falls Boulevard in Oswego. At the April
- 0:28Speaker 1: seventh Oswego Village Board meeting, village trustees unanimously approved plans
- 0:32Speaker 1: for the proposed one hundred and ninety three square foot shop,
- 0:35Speaker 1: which specializes in hand crafted coffee and espresso based beverages,
- 0:38Speaker 1: cold brew tease, lemonades, smoothies, and other non alcoholic specialty drinks.
- 0:43Speaker 1: Trustees also voted to approve an ordinance annexing the land
- 0:46Speaker 1: into the village and rezoning the land for business use.
- 0:49Speaker 1: The site, which is about two acres in size, is
- 0:52Speaker 1: located on the south side of US Route thirty four,
- 0:54Speaker 1: about five hundred feet east of the US Route thirty
- 0:57Speaker 1: four and Ogden Falls Boulevard intersection. The coffee shop would
- 1:01Speaker 1: sit on an approximately zero point eight seven acre site
- 1:04Speaker 1: adjacent to the Shell gas station. A second lot is
- 1:06Speaker 1: proposed for future commercial development. Trustees and Oswego Village President

- 1:43Speaker 1: restaurant also offers walk up service. Village planner Jeff Lynn
- 1:47Speaker 1: said while no customers will be able to enter the building,
