Mark your calendars for the week of June 29 through July 6 … that’s when Frank & Elva plan to take a well-deserved vacation.
But, instead of being closed — as previously advertised — we will now be open for limited hours, thanks to Carlos and Maria, who have decided to work during the vacation!
June 29 - July 6

Hey! We’ve been reviewed in the SJ Mercury News! Here’s what Amy Pizzaro had to say about us, in an article published online on May 13:
Every now and then, I am struck by a hankering for a good breakfast burrito. (I grew up in New Mexico, where such things are taken seriously.) Recently this mood hit me at the office, so I punched “breakfast burritos Willow Glen” into my search engine, and up popped a nearby cafe I’d never heard of.
Since that day, Elva’s Coffee Stop has not only satisfied several burrito cravings, but its outstanding sandwiches and inviting customer service also have made me a regular.
…
The pastry case is tantalizing, and if you spy a custard crimpy ($2.50), grab it before it’s gone. Made by Kelly’s French Bakery in Santa Cruz, this divine, cupcake-shaped pastry is made of pound cake reminiscent of madeleine cookies. A dollop of vanilla custard peeks out of a crisp, honey-colored top, and I love to pull off hunks of the rich, buttery cake and dip them into the creamy center. Crimpies also come filled with chocolate, olallieberry or almond.Elva’s offers interesting drinks, including two flavored teas made with secret-recipe house blends of Italian soda syrups. The snickerdoodle iced tea ($2.50 for a medium) does indeed taste like the fresh-baked goodies sprinkled with cinnamon. And POG tea — POG means passion fruit, orange and guava — is a fruity drink with a sweetness that tastes purely natural.
Thanks, Amy!

You know your mom would love some fresh, personally-delivered coffee tomorrow morning, right?
Drop by Elva’s Coffee Stop early to really impress your mom!
Don’t know exactly what she drinks? That’s OK … at Elva’s we probably have her regular drink memorized. If you tell us her name, we can probably make her coffee drink!
Special Mother’s Day hours: Open 6:30 am to 12:00 noon.

Special message from Janet Fouts … Team Captain for Team Willow Glen in the 2009 Avon Walk:
I’m team captain for “Team Willow Glen” in the 2009 Avon Walk. Avon is one of the few walks that donates a large part of the proceeds to local organizations, and many of the people treated at these sites are people who might not otherwise get care at all. Last year team Willow Glen raised over $20,000 for the Avon foundation.
If you want to see where the money raised went, visit the team blog.
We’re going to do a silent auction this year to raise money for the team. Funds raised will be donated to the Avon foundation as part of the funds each walker is required to raise to walk ($1800 per walker) in this amazing event.
Elva Acevedo of Elva’s Coffee Stop will not only be walking but hosting the silent auction as well. If you own or know of a business or individual who will donate an item for the auction or cash to the walkers, please contact me at the number below, or drop by Elva’s and speak to her.
As we get items to bid on we will post them to the blog and Elva will show them off at the shop too. It’s a way for you to visibly show your community support, and help a great cause.
If you are a business or individual with something to donate you can drop it off at Elva’s or email me. Full details and a list of team members are posted on our blog.
If you’re interested in joining the team or walking with us, send me an email. The more the merrier.
Thank you for helping us!

Hello everyone! First, let me say thank you to all of you that helped support our Willow Glen Team in 2008! We trained, we fund raised over $20,000.00, and most important we walked as one!
I decided to join the Avon Breast Cancer Walk in 2008, for two reasons. First, in 2008 I celebrated my 40th! What better way than to walk 40 miles, one for each year. Second, my sister is a Cancer survivor.
While some of us did better than others as far as blisters, sore feet, knees, back, hips, you name it, we made it. We healed, recovered, and now are ready to walk again!
Side Note: last year after completing the first 26 miles, I was picked up by two of our team members, (not physically off the floor picked up). Janet, our team Captain, and CJ took me to our hotel, drew a bath for my footsies. Oh joy. After a hot shower, we went for a walk to dinner! Mercy!
Yes, I must admit, I’m not much of a camper, the three of us stayed at a hotel with hot running water, warm cozy beds and no lines for the bathroom.
After the 2nd. day, and 40 miles later, Frank met us in SF and we went for yet another walk to dinner. Mercy, Mercy!
This year’s walk is July 11-12 in SF again. We are training and ready to go.
Let’s make a difference, join us in our fund raising efforts.
My participant number is #964024.
Thanks to all,
Elva Acevedo #964024

We took a few days in April to update our Menu Board, including some price changes necessitated by state sales tax increases. We’ve also revamped our daily muffin offerings!
