I knew this day would eventually come, and with a heavy heart I have to let you all know that the day is near.
9.2 years ago, me and my mother had a wild hair to open our cafe in New Hope, not knowing a single soul out here- other than each other! Looking back on that day, I was scared to death and had no earthy idea what to expect. Meeting each of you has been such a blessing to me, and I don’t say that casually. I TRULY mean that. Y’all have stood by our sides through it ALL and I will always be forever grateful for your support- but mostly your love and friendship that I’ve treasured all these years. Some of you, we have known since day 1, while others we might have just met last week, or today even, but I consider you all my very dear friends!
Covid really did a number on us, I won’t lie. I never have lied to any of you about anything. The cost of food increased, employees decreased, dining room closed from lack of help, and still in the same boat today. We are tired. Many of you know that my step dad is going through his second cancer journey and my mama owes it to him to be by his side 100%. My daughter, Raylee has literally grown up in that cafe and right now, I just want to be her mama. She made the NH softball team, and Lord willing- I will be there to truly support her 100%. I feel like she’s got the short end of the stick in my career with me going to bed early, or not being home with her. So, I owe her my time right now. I’m saying all of this so you can maybe understand why we would do what we have chosen to do. I have no idea what tomorrow will bring, but I trust in Jesus Christ to lead my path through it all. The brick and mortar of Breakin Bread may be coming to an end- but if it’s the Lord’s will- we aren’t finished!!!
Just give us a little time to rest and get our thoughts together! This isn’t the last of us. That’s all I can say at the moment. But know that during this time, we will miss each one of you SO MUCH that it is already killing our hearts. I do know that it’s for the best and I do know the Lord closes doors that no man can open and He opens doors no man can shut! I truly trust Him with everything!!! Don’t delete this page! I will still get on here from time to time and give you all updates about our future! God is good even when we look out and all we see is complete darkness. We have faith and we know He never makes mistakes!!! 🫶🏼💕
Stop by and see us. Our last day for business will be Friday, June 23. I know it’s summer and everyone has plans or out of town. We will still be there through the whole month of July if you just want to stop by and see us! We would love it! Always remember that we are always here for you. You might not be able to walk up to that window, but you know how to send a message to this page or call/text me personally! THIS ISNT GOODBYE, my friends. Until then- may God shine in each of your hearts, give you everything you’re gonna need in whatever season you’re in, and know that He will NEVER let you down!❤️ -Shanen
