 The Westgate Mall has a new addition to their array of shops. The Sweet Beans coffee store just opened today and now offers shoppers a new place to stop for a quick pick-me-up. Kathy Hughes owns the coffee shop which is right next to the Betty Mae. Mae's that she also opened last October. The exterior of the shop is still being worked on but Hughes envisions a welcoming environment with a boutique look. The menu features a variety of gourmet coffee as well as homemade sandwiches and baked goods. It's got that homey feel where you come in you want to sit down and you want to people watch it. It just that's what I wanted was more of a different look. Hughes plans to keep Sweet Beans open during normal hours of the Westgate Mall.
