We’re officially sending out bat signals for signatures to shut down the block for again this year. If you live between Pine and Osage on 45th street, we need your help! This includes those living in the apartment complex facing 45th!!

We’ll have this signature form at the cafe for those who would like to give us a stamp of approval for the DIY music party of the summer—we’d love to treat you to a free drink or pastry for helping us out😉🤩 (this applies ONLY to those whose address applies to the block closure form).

Thank you all for your continuous support, we love you guys and can’t wait for Porchfest❤️

The first of our Featured Artists for 2026 have officially set up at the cafe—and the Octopods are flying off the shelf! Lorrie Kim and her daughter Lily are displaying their textile pieces consisting of handmade quilts and felted creatures at KB for January. You can purchase an Octopod or a quilt displayed at the cafe, and all proceeds will be donated:

“Maybe you were going to donate to support trans rights anyway. This way, you also get an octopod or a quilt! 100% of proceeds donated to Trans Lifeline or Transgender Law Center.”
