Geneva Coffeeshop to Double as Luke’s Diner for Gilmore Girls Netflix Release

Gilmore Girls fans are going to want to stop out to Graham’s 318 Coffeehouse in Geneva on Black Friday as the coffeeshop plans to transform into a replica of Luke’s Diner.

Graham’s 318 Coffeehouse, 318 S. 3rd Street, will also be recreating the series’ “Autumn Festival” episode, which was episode 7 from Season 1, and will be hosting a Cornucopia food drive booth outside its shop. St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Geneva will be assisting with the food drive and items collected will go to the Salvation Army.

“If you give to the canned food drive, we will give you 10 percent off your purchase that day,” manager Kristen Sommerfeld told the Kane County Chronicle.

The coffeeshop decided to host the special event, and transform its shop to look like Luke’s Diner, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in celebration of the Netflix release of a new four-part series to the Gilmore Girls. The Gilmore Girls: Year in a Life series, which is much-anticipated by Gilmore Girls fans, is debuting that same day on Netflix.

“We look forward to seeing all Gilmore Girls fans on this special day of recreating the magical charm that Stars Hollow brings right in the heart of downtown Geneva in our Coffeehouse,” according to Facebook event post from Graham’s 318.

The coffee shop will serve specialty drinks named after characters from Gilmore Girls, Sommerfeld told the Kane County Chronicle.

The coffee shop will also be giving away special prized during the event and testing attendees Gilmore Girls knowledge. Customers that answer all trivia questions correctly will have the opportunity to win a free “Luke’s” ceramic mug.

There will also be a special photo booth set up and Netflix is sending the shop special prizes to hand out.
