    Welcome!  I'm erbivrus, aka "Erbie", proprietor of "Erbie's Cafe." I grew up in the Inland Pacific Northwest, where a cup of coffee is synonymous with hospitality (as the pineapple is to the Hawaiian, so is the coffee maker to the Washingtonian).  I'm also a "compulsive over-reader."  When I moved to California in 1984, and discovered the world of bookstores-cum-coffeehouses, I knew I'd found my spiritual home!
 

    My name is not "Ozymandias" (though it's almost as difficult to type!), and I don't want this site to become some sort of caffeine-inspired personal monument.  Do you have a poem you'd like to share?  A book you'd like to review or see reviewed?  An opinion you'd like to air?    DROP ME A LINE   and become a guest speaker!  And, while you're there, don't forget to  SIGN THE GUESTBOOK  and let me know what I can do to improve the cafe.  At Erbie's, the customer may not always be right, but he or she is always respected. 

    There's always something brewing at Erbie's!  Pour yourself a cup and come on in!
