Founders Cafe

This week we will be running counter top goodies ( and of course coffee!) For Wednseday only, our kitchen is closed due to a personal bereavement, we apologize for any inconvenience, and hope to see youre smiling faces in for a top notch cheesy scone, almond croissant or one of our majorly good muffins!!

❄️☕ Well, we officially made it past the winter solstice last week! Which means the annual winter "hump day" is behind us, and the days are finally getting longer.

​We’ll be raising a mug on Wednesday (open days Wed-Sun) to brighter mornings and the distant promise of spring! ☀️ But since it’s still pretty chilly out there, we’ve got the heaters cranked and the comfort food ready. Come warm up with your favorite brew - See you Wednesday!
