the pulling of the permit has nothing to do with the food...they can pull that because he is not following the noise laws....it is a health violation because he is impeding what they call "quality of life" of people around him...that is the truth and the law
There has been a great music scene in St Joe as long as I can remember! If anything it has gotten better! How about we actually go and look for some venues and shows before we totally rip on a great town.
Mark has great taste in music, and I enjoy his Wednesday offerings. It sounds like he put together quite the rythym section for this show. I'm pretty bummed I had to miss out.
David-I caught you and Charles last Thursday on the local showcase. Nice playlist pal.

mhtp.libsyn.com... oops, Podcast!!!
I am slightly offended, about the downtown being dead comment... They are working hard trying to bring it back! My younger sister has a vintage store, at 718 Francis, called The Lucky Tiger, they have everything from clothes to vinyl records, you should've checked that out before you wrote this article... They are planning to have a local band section to sell cd's, as well as, other things. They have had bands play acoustics, as well. He boyfriend also does stand up comedy and here is a podcast where The Pitch is mentioned, granted it takes 1 hour and 12 minutes to get there but you get the gist!!!!
Well the music has bothered me from time to time. However They are friendly and nice, i live less than 500 feet away and i had the manager of the place a nice kid about 25 come to my door and introduce himself and ask if the noise level bothered me and to feel free to let him know... he did it every so often and then stopped... maybe someone told him not to anymore or maybe he doesn't work there anymore but everyone i have talked to is very friendly.. and i like not having to walk far to get a great cup of coffee
Well their customers don't seem to mind and they like the place... if you don't like it then just don't go there and don't talk about it...If any of the shit you were saying was true then the cops wouldn't have a problem shutting them down, you can have an opinion that's fine... but making stuff up is ridiculous Not a single employee or the owner or the customers smoke pot at all or in/ around the store.. WHY WOULD THEY? So you guys would have a reason to shut them down... yeah that makes all the sense in the world. There was One time some bum who wanted to play music around the area tried to pee and smoke something in the back alley and the manager told them to scram cause he was calling the cops... The people who work their are just that... people... trying to work and get by.
Who cares where his money comes from. The fact remains that this "cafe" is nothing more than hippies smoking marijuana and forcing awful music on residents, other business owners ans customers. I stopped in to check the place out and their menu may as well be a gas station menu.
I heard these guys on "Homegrown Buzz" tonight and just HAD to go find them! These guys rock!
sorry, "inheritance", not trust fund.
yeah i have to agree with that one! everyone who actually knows Jeff or the family knows how he grew up, far from a trust fund baby. we are all just laughing at the people who are making all this up, who knows what they will come up with next! probably something like " No really, i know the owner i swear he is a terrorist!"
No he doesn't live off a trust fund! and if you are saying he does and you know him that just proves you have no clue what or who your talking about. he will tell you himself.
I do not have strong feelings against the Rock Cafe, but I can only agree with the sentiment that "it is not a professional business." It appears more of a lark than a genuine commercial attempt. I am disappointed that the ownership has apparently ignored the frustrations of the neighborhood's businesses and residents. Lack of business will likely suffocate the enterprise soon, unless the owner has plenty of blank checks to rip up for fun.
Actually, he is living off a trust fund. Just sayin'. I live nearby and know the owner a little bit.
Pretty positive they haven't had a single health code violation.... and they also had the proper permits for everything they are serving. that being said it is to loud they need to be courteous because there is no way they will last in a neighborhood that doesn't want them there
some of these comments are hilarious, If the guy was a trust fund kid don't you think that he would have a way better location/ business plan? people will get glad in the same pants thet got mad in. I like the Rock cafe's desserts and the coffee is amazing, i always have friendly service and the staff is very nice! i live nearby and the music doesn't really bother me. I hope they stay around for awhile because all the other places and starbucks just doesn't cut it.
Idk anything about the rock cafe. I have walked by there and it just looked like a bunch of bums hanging out. I ate at the Kc smoke burgers place once and found it to be very odd with zero ambiance. The food at kcsb was not as good as I had expected. Fric and Frac, Po's Dumpling, Thomas, and Blue Koi are my favorites in that locale.
The best desserts and coffee anywhere! Finally, I can get a decent cup of coffee on 39th St.
loud music again friday night and tonight.....rude hicks.....

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - A Kansas City restaurant had its food service permit suspended Tuesday for the second time in less than a month because of repeated violations of the city’s noise ordinance.
According to a statement from the Kansas City Health Department, The Rock Café, 1603 W. 39th Street can still serve sell prepackaged, shelf-stable food, but they cannot sell anything prepared on site and/or any food that requires temperature control.
The Rock Café had its permit suspended from June 25 through June 29 because of noncompliance with the noise ordinance, at which time management agreed in writing to abide by the ordinance and ensure they would not violate it again.
According to city food code, establishments must abide by all city ordinances to maintain a food service permit.
The length of Tuesday’s suspension was not immediately clear.
