Huntington (HNN) — If you're looking for a great hang-out, try Kool Beans, the newest Coffee House to hit the City of Huntington. Open just a few short weeks now, Kool Beans looks to cater to those devotees of Espresso-based drinks who crave atmosphere and a quality coffee.
 
"We've got the best darn coffee in town," says Sheila Henderson, sister of the owner Brent Henderson. "We grind our coffee fresh every day. Our House brand is a Columbian Supreme roasted in Ybor City, Florida, a part of Tampa. We also have deserts, like Cheesecakes, Brownies, Pastries, and Muffins, as well as Pepsi Products."
 
Sheila said that Kool Beans hosts a number of entertainment theme-nights: — Monday: Chess Tournament
— Tuesday: Pajama Party
— Wednesday: Poetry
— Thursday: Open MIC Night
— Friday: Old School Blues
— Saturday: Jam Night - everyone welcome to join in!
" The Pajama Party is our Chick-Flick night for the girls. We have published poets come to our Poetry Night. We also have Tony the Buffalo Soldier", a real Jazz & Blues Musician who plays on Friday Nights at 8pm.
 
Q: "What was the Inspiration for this type of shop?"
 
A: "In Florida, where we moved from, there were coffee houses on just about every corner. But the Inspiration shop for my brother's wife Victoria was the Java Junction, especially the atmosphere." Victoria did much of the design work for inside Kook Beans, a real treat for the eyes.
 
Q: "What are the plans for Kool Beans in the future?"
 
A: "Once the construction is finished out front of the shop, our hours will go back to 9am-12 midnight." Presently, they open at 4pm. "Plus, we look to open the downstairs this summer. My brother plans to get a liquor license and put a bar downstairs, as well as pool tables."
 
Sheila, Brent and Victoria Henderson of Kool Beans can be found at 622 20th St. You can reach them by phone at (304) 522-0272, and their hours of operation are 9am-Midnight Monday-Saturday, and closed Sunday. A copy of their flyer is available to download by Clicking Here.* (View Pictures)
