SilentWolf Posted October 1, 2016 (edited) A new artisan has opened in Elizabethville, and it has been the rave of the town. The WETEC has not allowed a tavern to be set up so far, in order to prevent drunkenness among the soldiers. Though there is no prohibition, they wanted to avoid the soldiers being able to spend their entire paychecks drinking each month. This new establishment has helped ease the tensions over the lack of a tavern. We had formerly seen the propietors, Joe and Josephine Black voting for the new mayor of Elizabethville, and since then they have been working hard to get the building finished and opened. Joe and Josephine Black decided to open an establishment that specialized in the delicacies from Cocovia. Here the residents can buy cocoa bars and coffee. It also provides a great location to meet and spend time with friends during the evening hours. The place is so popular that they are considering opening up the roof for additional seating in good weather. On rainy days, the shutters are dropped and the inside is the only available seating. They have also already hired a young lady to help serve. There is a new cocoa bar that is available that is processed with milk. It makes a lighter and sweeter tasting delicacy. Though it so far hasn't overtaken the cocoa bars in popularity. (Some rumors claim it was developed in Oleon, but every true Corrington citizen knows that it was developed by Corrington scientists on Cocovia.) Some even drink chocolate and claim it tastes wonderful, though coffee seems to be the preferred drink. Among the women, there is a tendency to add cream to the coffee makes it a tan color rather than its original black. Without further ado, here is the Bittersweet Mug.

blackdeathgr Posted October 1, 2016 Well... EVERYBODY and their mothers know that cocoa with milk was invented by the famous Oleander chef Laitous Laitouise. Also everybody knows that an owner welcoming guests with a knife on his hand is not quite a welcoming sight! Joking aside, This is a very nice build. The thing i always like about your mocs is that they are always tightly populated with minifigs that are never identical. So i love checking the various torso-legs combinations each time one is presented. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought about taking away the chocolate knife and the coffee pot but in my rush didn't. This build does see some repeat characters. Jenkins, the school teacher, is present enjoying a conversation with some of the townsfolks. We also see the younger Sudworths enjoying coffee and chocolate. They showed up before when first arriving in Elizabethville and at the elections. Gabriel is still trying to impress the girls. Seems he is doing better than when he fell in the mud puddle. The soldiers are easy to help populate, but the others are an attempt at new people. On 10/1/2016 at 6:30 AM, Faladrin said: Nice tavern ! It has a really busy feeling !

I had to be careful to not use too many of the 1x2 dark browns though, as they were needed for chocolate bars. (Eating the roof, what are these minifigures up to?

Elostirion Posted October 8, 2016 A very nice approach to a tavern, which definitely displays some fantastic concepts. Not too much of a fan of the roof, but the crowded terrace is absolutely superb. Very nice work overall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It needs some work for it to be viable. I am contemplating doing a tall false facade in future roofs using that style. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TitusV Posted October 14, 2016 Due to the very nice look of this store, Lady Elysabeth would like to order a 100 bars of cacao and another 20 of cacao stuffed with banana- and avocadofondant! (that last one is a Belgian delicatesse) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
