Dayzi's Donuts and Coffee made its debut in Carlyle on Monday, April 2. The community's newest coffee shop will be serving up some new options alongside some old favourites.
“Yes, we'll be serving Carlyle Bakery cinammon buns and our specialty donuts,” says proprietor Laurie Day with a smile. “Along with coffee and other goodies.”
“And we're hoping to expand our lunch line soon - we'll also be serving pizza by the slice, sandwiches, chili, stew, soups and more,” she adds.
Day and partner Steve Lothian say Dayzi's was a natural expansion of Carlyle Bakery's business, as Dayzi's will also serve as the point of sale for the Carlyle Bakery's goods.
“I wanted to add more retail space for the bakery on this side, because we could really use more room for production,” says Lothian.
“And I wanted to get back into the coffee shop business again,” says Day. “I had a coffee shop here in Carlyle about nine years ago. I ran it for 5 ½ years and I really missed it - especially my customers.”
“I'm really looking forward to welcoming customers - old and new - to Dayzi's,” adds Day. “We're planning on possibly having our official grand opening on May long weekend, so our customers from the lakes can join us, too.”
“We're looking forward to welcoming everyone to Dayzi's.”
Dayzi's Donuts and Coffee is open Monday to Saturday from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is located next door to the Carlyle Bakery on Main Street, Carlyle.
