We Have Some Difficult News to Share
After a lot of thought and many long conversations, we’ve made the tough decision to close our coffee shop. Unfortunately, there just hasn’t been enough interest here in town to keep things sustainable, and we’ve reached the point where we’re having to maintain full-time jobs outside the shop just to make ends meet.
Our last day of operations will be November 22nd.
This isn’t the ending we hoped for, but we’re deeply grateful to everyone who has supported us — especially our regulars. You’ve been the heart of this place. You showed up on the slow mornings, you brought laughter on the long days, and you reminded us why we opened our doors in the first place. Seeing familiar faces, sharing quick chats over the counter, and being part of your daily routines made the hard days easier and the good days even better. Saying goodbye to that part — the people and the sense of community we built together — will be the toughest part of all.
Before we go, we want to share something that really matters to us: supporting local businesses keeps our town alive. Every time you choose to spend money locally — at a café, boutique, restaurant, or repair shop — that money stays here. It pays local employees, supports local suppliers, and gets reinvested back into the community through taxes, events, and shared prosperity.
But when we take our spending to other towns or big box stores, that money leaves our community — and with it goes the potential for local growth, jobs, and new opportunities. The result is fewer small businesses, fewer places to gather, and fewer reasons for people to stop and invest their time here.
So even as we close our doors, we hope you’ll continue to support the other small businesses that make this town special. They depend on your patronage to survive — and your choices truly shape the future of our community.
For those who still have gift cards, please come in and redeem them before November 22nd. We want to make sure everyone gets to enjoy what’s left on their balance.
All drinks will also be discounted by 25% until our final day — a small thank-you to everyone who’s supported us through this year.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of our journey, for believing in us, and for making this chapter one we’ll never forget.
We’d love to see you before our last day on November 22nd — come by for a cup, a chat, or just to say goodbye. Let’s share a few more memories before we close this chapter.
