Rewritten Article:

Ahoy, coffee enthusiasts of Mendota! Get ready to weave through the town's quaint Illinois Avenue and find yourself at the brand spankin' new hideout, The Coffee Barn. Set to brew and serve up some magic starting Thursday, this snug coffee shop is now offering you a cozy corner to caffeinate your soul.

Sean Arteaga and Humberto Garcia, two Mendota High School alumni, have done it again. Posessing the uncanny knack for spotting opportunities, they saw the charm in the otherwise unassuming building that was once Jerry's Flower Barn. With the coffee gods smiling down upon them, the trio - joined by Janaya Garcia, a devout coffee fanatic and the Coffee Barn's wise general manager - embarked on an exciting journey to stir up some freshest cup of java in town.

After months of polishing the building and perfecting the perfect brew blend, their hard work has finally paid off. The Coffee Barn's initial menu offerings include an array of delightful donuts and scrumptious pastries, with plans to expand the breakfast and lunch menu in the future.

So, make haste and find your place at this homey nook, open from 6 a.m. till 2:30 p.m. every day of the week.

As for the specifics of the menu, the official word is still out. But one thing's for sure - The Coffee Barn is here to quench Mendota's rising thirst for a good old-fashioned, homegrown coffee shop. Keep your eyes peeled for future announcements, or better yet, pay a visit and be part of this brew-tiful movement!
