HISTORY

Still Going After
All these Years.


Yep, you know Pegasus Coffee House has been an Island fixture more than 27 years. It's always been friendly, lively, casual and a bit funky and bohemian. If only the walls could talk! While founder David Dessinger roasted the beans in the back, the coffee house opened its doors on May 1, 1980.

The building was formerly home to Anderson Hardware store and its trademark bricks were salvaged from the Port Blakely Mill incinerator. When David threw open the building's garage doors releasing the aroma of freshly roasted beans, Islanders were attracted to the funky new coffee house. On any given day, Pegasus Coffee House welcomes many types of people.

Some use it as an office, some as a living room, but it's always been a hub for information and the arts. The walls play host to local artists works and there's live coffee house music every week. David has since moved the roasting to Day Road.

 


Mistaken identities are as common with plants as they are with people. Many folks who have admired the Pegasus Coffee House foliage mistakenly identify it as English Ivy. It's not. It is, in fact Virginia Creeper. Here are the differences:

Ivy
Ivy is a woody, evergreen climbing plant, of which there are several species. One of the most common species of ivy in the United States is (hedera helix), which is native to Africa, western Asia and Europe. According to the U.S. National Park Service, early European immigrants were likely the first to introduce the plant into North America, and grew it for its decorative appeal. English ivy is characterized by having dark green leaves with white veins, which are segmented into three to five lobes each. It will also produce seasonal berries, which are dark purple in color, and clusters of pale, yellowish-green flowers. English ivy is a voracious grower, and uses small root-like fibers and a sticky enzyme to attach itself to various types of surfaces, including wood and brick.


Virginia Creeper
Virginia creeper (parthenocissus quinquefolia) is a North American vine that is part of the grape family (vitaceae). It is characterized by having green, five-pronged leaves, which turn a brilliant red color in the autumn season (making them a great covering for outdoor structures). The plant also produces seasonal greenish-white flowers, but these are often hard to see behind the foliage. Like English ivy, the Virginia creeper is a voracious grower. Mature plants have been known to grow up to between 6 to 10 feet per year. Virginia creeper is also incredibly resilient.

The Honest
Pint Project





Honest Pint Project Pay for a pint. Get a pint. The Pub & Pegasus Coffee House have received ‘Honest Pint’ Certification! The Honest Pint Project is an effort to bring transparency to glassware volumes by promoting



the use of glassware that ensures a patron receives at least 16 fluid ounces of beer when a pint is poured. While not against the law and without uniform standards that enforce a uniform measure, the result is a market in which some pubs serve beer in 20-ounce imperial pints while others use glassware as small as 14 ounces — all called ‘pints’. Unwittingly one can pay a premium for beer served in smaller than advertised glass. But, not here.
