Life is uncertain.
Eat dessert first. My sweet tooth was not disappointed by what I found inside JR RAS coffee shop in downtown Reading, either. From a menu that promised coffees, teas, sandwiches, sinfully good sweets and more, I ordered a chocolate and macadamia nut-flavored steamer, hot soup and half a sandwich and settled down in my chair to soak in the ambiance and to wait for my drink. The relatively new shop is an odd combination of a Seattle coffee house, a 19th century city park and a Midwestern gift shop. Deb Sprow, a server and the shop s owner, said that the store used to be an antique shop before she and her husband, Reading mayor Randy Sprow, bought it.
