ZETTY McKAY!
Our 'own' Coffee Girl. Zetty worked at NNB Radio with one of The EAGLE's sister stations, KAST 1370 AM and the CoastWatch News Team.
Although we were all sad to see her go, it was exciting to hear the idea...then watch her 'make it happen'. Her own coffee shop!
Being located on the Historic 39th St. Pier, she has the best view in town, not to mention coffee! Her place is wireless, so you laptop lovers, can get your work, or internet 'surfing' done while you enjoy a cup of coffee. Your 4-legged friends are welcome outside on the beautiful waterfront area as well!
Zetty has expanded to lite breakfast and lunches and the atmosphere is one of true calm and beauty.
Recently, I had the opportunity to broadcast for another of our sister stations, KAST FM 99.7 for a live radio remote with one of our AE's Marty. We had a really great time and gave away some fantastic prizes, from the Coffee Girl. Zetty sold alot of coffee and homemade scones! Yes, Zetty makes everything she can from scratch ...just like Grandma used to do!
An Interesting bit...
The HISTORY of the COFFEE GIRL....
The Coffee Girl opened in January 2006, but the history goes back more than a century.
The former cannery, Pier 39, where Coffee Girl is located, often times had a girl/lady assigned to make coffee, clean the break room, do laundry, and other chores. Coffee Girl owner, Zetty McKay, also worked at the cannery in the late 90's as... none other than a coffee girl. So when it came time to naming her new coffee shop, it was a natural. Now there's a new generation of coffee girls making their mark! THANK YOU to our listeners and Zetty for a great day and succesful remote! It's always fun to get out and see you all in person!
On a personal note: I miss Zetty here at the station...she was the only other on-air 'chick' that I worked with everyday and I guess it was a 'girl thing'.. but not to despair, I go see her for a bit of respite at Pier 39, enjoy the view and conversation, now it's a 'Coffee Girl' thing!
OH! and I can't forget! Zetty has a secret (well, not SO secret) self-proclaimed, FLOWER FAIRY that always brings her the beautiful flowers for her shop... aren't dad's great?
