๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ก๐! ๐๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ, ๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฒ๐จ๐ง๐! ๐บ
โIn celebration of our 4th month, we would like to answer the most-asked question by our customers, and no, it is not about the beans, it's this:
โ"๐๐๐ค๐ข๐ญ ๐๐ก๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ง๐๐ฆ๐?"
โOur go-to answer is always because we love Lilo & Stitch so much. We love the message it conveys: that ohana means family, and family means no one gets left behind. Topping it off by saying that this cafe is managed by our family as well. The response is often:
โ"๐๐ก๐ก ๐ค๐๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ก๐๐ง๐, ๐๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฒ๐."
โThe conversation usually ends there. But if we had all the time in the world, we'd tell you about how we believe that family does not just refer to individuals related by blood, but anyone who loves you and cares for you unconditionally. Anyone. It could be a neighbor, a classmate, a pet, or even an alien. And such individuals are always welcome in our cafe. Just as Stitch said:
โ"๐๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฆ๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฒ. ๐ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ญ ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐จ๐ง ๐ฆ๐ฒ ๐จ๐ฐ๐ง. ๐๐ญ'๐ฌ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ค๐๐ง, ๐๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ ๐จ๐จ๐. ๐๐๐๐ก, ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ ๐จ๐จ๐."
โAnd so, Ohana was born. It wasn't complete at first; we barely had enough seats for everyone in the first month. There are busy days where orders pile up and our bodies ache while there are also calmer days where we sit and talk while waiting for customers. Ohana is small and imperfect, but we built it on our own.
โSo to our customers, Mahalo! We thank you for patience. ๐๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ง๐ค ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ฎ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฏ๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ. We hope this answers your question!
โLove,
