A hospitality veteran is using pop-ups to share authentic flavors and, perhaps, build something even bigger.

⚠️Two important announcements!⚠️

1) We’re all booked up for our Valentine’s Day Sake Dinner! Thank you to everyone that purchased a ticket, we cannot wait to serve you!

2) Next week will be our last ramen night pop-up. We wanted to extend this series further into the winter, but sadly we are not going to be able to. We are very grateful to have received as much support as we did these last few months, and we hope to see some of you for our last nights selling ramen:

Monday the 16th at Faklandia & Tuesday the 17th at Holey Mackerel.

Worry not, this will not be the end of Kokoro Cafe. In fact, there are some incredible things on the horizon that we are very excited to share with you. Please sign up for our newsletter so you can be the first to know what’s coming up! (Link in bio) Especially if you’ve been here with us since the very beginning, you’re not going to want to miss what’s next :)

To everyone that’s supported us so far, from the bottom of our hearts: Thank you. It’s been a pleasure to serve you.

Until next time
またね～

⚠️ Attention! ⚠️

I have been sick this weekend. It's nothing major, likely just a bad cold or the flu, so no need to worry. However, we're a very small team, and I actually do a majority of the prep work myself 😔. Because of that, it's just not possible to open this week so I've made the sad decision to close for now to rest.

We will be back next week, and we also have our Valentine's Day Sake Dinner coming up as well! If you haven't, please buy your tickets soon because there's not many left! (Link in bio)

As always, thanks for your continued support. I hope to use this time to work on some more awesome specials.

Until next time, stay warm!
