It's hard to even say this...but today marks the start of final week of Ada's Technical Books & Cafe 🥲
..but it's also our birthday week, so we'll be smiling through the tears as we celebrate 16 years of books, coffee, and incredible community 📚☕️🎉

💙 For our birthday week of June 1st through 6th, we will have cupcakes and housemade affogatos on the menu; plus, a new sale section activated every day! All of our books and retail are currently 40% off, and each day, we will add a new category that is 60% off. Once a category is 60% off, it will remain 60% off until we close.

Here is the general timeline:
June 1st: 60% off all Children's and Middle Grade books
June 2nd: 60% off all YA books
June 3rd: 60% off all Retail Merchandise
June 4th: 60% off all Fiction
June 5th: 60% off EVERYTHING!

💙 The last day for our regular Ada's Staff is June 5th. We will be open as close to our regular hours until then. Please stop by and give them some love!

💙 On our final day, June 6th, we will be going out in a similar way to how we started. David and Danielle will be running the bar from 10am-12pm if you'd like to stop by and say your goodbyes. The store will only be open for those two hours and the kitchen will not be serving.

Thanks so much for helping us celebrate -- we can't wait to see you!

As we near Ada’s final chapter, we’ve been reflecting on all the moments that made this place so special 🤍 We would not be who we are without all the people who walked through our doors and shaped this community!

We’d love to hear your favorite Ada's memory - a book, a conversation, a feeling, a person - share it with us in the comments! 📚
