Sunday Coffee Gathering
Jul 3 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
Passerelle Bistro

Sunday Coffee Gathering at Passerelle Bistro at The Falls in Greenville!

Join us this Sunday the 3rd at 10:00 am (or later if 10 is too early) for a breakfast beverage at Passerelle Bistro at Falls Park in Greenville!

We will be seated outdoors. To find us, look for the small Italian flag in the middle of our table.

We look forward to your getting together with us for another gathering featuring great breakfast drinks and interesting conversation.

Note that the earlier you arrive, the more likely you will find a good seat to sit in. But even if you arrive later, we can always find a seat for you. Dom has been known to courteously stand rather than sit when circumstances require that. :^)

I would like to invite you to consider joining my other groups if they interest you. I would love to have you join.

  1. Greenville wine social meetup. This meetup is a wine and appetizer potluck social gathering. Wine and food theme are selected for each, and tend to be held in the home of hosts. https://www.meetup.com/greenville-wine-social-meetup-group/
  2. Friday Afternoon Club (FAC) in Greenville. The Greenville Friday Afternoon Club (FAC) will meet each Friday (or every other Friday) at 5 pm (or later if you cannot attend that early). This will be a friendly, casual, sociable gathering held on my 210 Croft St Greenville front porch. It is a BYOB (or other beverage) event. Bringing an appetizer is appreciated but not required. The event will end at 6 or 6:30 pm, depending on how active it is at 6.
