🌴🌴We’re BACK from vacation!!! Opening tomorrow (Tuesday )at 6 a.m🌴🌴

From epic naps on the beach (Emine was basically a pro at it 😴), reenacting Titanic scenes 🚢, and hanging out with our crazy crew (including the furry ones 🐶 - thanks Kelsie for dog-sitting Coop!), we made the most of every moment. Now it’s time to ditch our swimsuits for aprons and swap cruise ships (Jennifer ) for coffee makers - we’re reopening at 6 AM sharp and can’t wait to see our awesome customers again! ❤️ Come help us get back to reality !

Who will be the first one in the door tomorrow morning ? Jerry, Dan, Dennis or Kenny ? 👀

See you soon! 👋
