📊 A quick behind-the-scenes look at restaurant reality
Running a small independent café means constantly adapting to changes in the food supply chain and market prices. Over the past weeks we’ve seen something that honestly shocked us.
Just recently, a 25 lb case of tomatoes — something we use daily for fresh salsas, toppings, and many of your favorite dishes like birria— went from $17–$22 per case to almost $55. Same with the beef is incredible.
That’s more than double the usual cost in a very short time.
Fresh produce, meats, dairy, eggs, cooking oil, and even packaging have all been experiencing significant price volatility due to factors like:
• supply chain fluctuations
• seasonal agriculture cycles
• transportation costs
• inflation across the food industry
For small businesses like ours, these changes are felt immediately.
Despite this, our commitment remains the same:
✨ quality ingredients
✨ generous portions
✨ consistency in every plate
We work hard every single day to keep our prices fair while continuing to serve food we’re proud of.
Your support means more than you know. Every visit, every review, every shared post helps local businesses like ours keep going.
Thank you for choosing to support a local café. 🐝💛
