Have you popped over to Plot Twist Books in Lockport yet? This cute book shop reminds me of walking into one of my fantasy books, but truly there is a genre for anyone who walks in!

We’re also very excited to have our bottled lattes in one of our favorite versions of a third space- a local book shop! Grab a book, grab a latte, and enjoy two of the most perfect vises life has to offer 📚

I say this everyday- we are nothing without our community. Huge congrats to the Lemont Lightning softball teams so far this season; it is such an honor to have been a sponsor this year and to support young women in sports!

As a small business, we do not always have the ability of donating. When we do, it is a privilege to be able to give back to our local Lemont teams, schools, and charities. Thank you all so much for your support over the years! 💙🤍

This month is dedicated to one of my all-time favorite artists, , who just released his album, The Great Divide, last week!

As many fans know, Noah Kahan also has an amazing foundation called the , which provides awareness and support around mental health. I love that he is giving underprivileged people the opportunity to seek help who may not have the access or funds to do so. A portion of sales from this menu will be donated to The Busyhead Project at the end of the month!

Drop your favorite Noah song if you’re also a fan!

In your defense, we also confuse them.

For those who don’t know, Bree’s last day was yesterday. From the moment she walked in, she was the brightest light, the kindest soul, and a damn-great barista. We all miss her deeply already, but we’re wishing her the best of luck on her next adventure! (but also counting down until she’s home for Christmas!!)

The cost of maintaining a coffee shop is pretty high, but if you close your eyes while you pay bills it’s basically free! (girl math 💅)

Here’s some “behind the scenes” information of running my business, which of course will differ per shop since we all have different priorities, maintenance schedules, and equipment. What else do you want to know about running a small business?
