It was so very hard to say “so long for now”
Or even “good bye”.
Our lease was set to renew June 2022…
This decision didn’t come easy for either of us after making thru the past two years.
We held on during the worst of times, everyone had gone home to quarantine and we just wanted to be here for the ones still
Downtown working and living ….
We are family owned and operated…
And we opened our doors to welcome anyone and everyone from all walks of life.
We know our short comings, any mistakes we might have made,
Things we could have, should have, or would have done…
It was just to daunting
On a day to day basis to keep up with rising costs on supplies, gas and overhead.
We realized our Good Food was not enough in today’s market. Song and Dance cannot change what has and is going on across the world with regards to supply and demand.
3 years Downtown was
(2019-2022) enough time to form relationships with many customers who became friends and we are thankful for that.
We don’t want this to
Leave anyone feeling like we didn’t try, given the experiences we all have gotten thru the past few years.
This isn’t good bye
This is a time to down size, re-evaluate, learn from our mistakes, learn from our successes and rise from that into offering pop up opportunities
With a Food Truck option.
We love Downtown and everyone associated with it who blessed our cafe.
As you decide daily on where you might dine please remember those establishments are in need of your support now more than ever, they are trying, cooking their hearts out, setting up shop, praying for customers and just trying to keep their dreams alive.
We are certain there will be a wonderful new venture that will open here and provide something amazing for Downtown.
Thank you for your
Continued support as we close this chapter and open a new one.
