For Niwot locals, it seems the Old Oak Coffeehouse appeared overnight in the long vacant Emporium storefront on 2nd Avenue. Brightly colored umbrellas shade outdoor tables surrounded by flowers in full bloom. Inside the well-furnished room, the coffee bar is fully stocked with drinks and tasty bites and a steady stream of customers wander in and out. The walls display fine art and every decoration is deliberately placed. Patty Machen and Michael Tomich, owners of the eatery, have a different...
