Our forever coffee shop! Make it a double shot - we've got a lot of work to do.🦋
For those asking, it is not an easy decision but we will be open tomorrow. As a small business, closing for a day is difficult. A closure costs money… it creates food waste, lost income, and added financial strain at a time when our rent and utilities have increased, making it hard to miss even a day. We aren’t a big business, we don’t have investors. We run on small margins while trying to do our best to provide for our team, keep our prices as low as possible, and give back whenever we can. We don’t just own our business, we work FOR our business. Many of our team members also rely on their hours for their livelihood. The times don’t ever seem to get easier but we are always trying to do our best.
We stand in solidarity with our neighbors—locally and nationally—who are facing fear and uncertainty due to ICE brutality in their communities. We support those choosing to opt out of economic participation and hope you understand the difficult position many small businesses like ours are in.
We also proudly support VIDAS, whose work has helped secure immigration relief for more than 800 people and advocated against the deportation of 180 people in 2025. They have an extraordinary impact in our community. We also support NBOP, who do vital work, including serving as watchdogs to help verify and monitor ICE activity in our area. We believe in supporting organizations that strengthen and protect our community, and we hope you’ll join us in supporting their work in whatever ways you’re able. Organizations like theirs need support year round.
Lastly, we always encourage cash to avoid CC processing fees, and we are proud to support many small businesses through the work we do daily to keep our money local. I believe the impact we have on our community is a positive one. We make an effort with every decision we make to do it with heart and what aligns with our values, while we also face the reality of how challenging this landscape is (and really always has been) to operate in. We are grateful for everyone’s understanding and support, your support allows us to support other organizations in our community. We are stronger together. ❤️
