Though our coffee bar and kitchen are only open for breakfast and lunch, our space comes alive after hours for all kinds of classes and events!

Over the years we’ve hosted casual family photoshoots, acoustic music shows, lectures on a variety of topics, painting and other craft evenings, and hands-on educational classes. It’s our joy to be a gathering place for our neighbors. Check below for upcoming events at both locations.
