We’re operating during our regular hours while everything gets settled, so come on in — we’d love to see you!

💛 Good Afternoon, friends.
Today has been one of those quiet days — the kind that can be tough on a small place like ours. We’ve gone a little over two hours without anyone coming through the door, and with our team here, and ready to take care of things, it becomes a hard reality to navigate...With that in mind, we’ll be closing early today. This is never a decision we make lightly, and we truly apologize for any inconvenience it may cause. Sustainability matters, and sometimes we have to make choices that keep us going for the long haul. Thank you for understanding, and for always supporting us!! We’ll be back at it Wednesday, ready to welcome you with good food, good people, and the warmth you’ve come to expect.💛 We’ll be here… waitin’ on ya! 😎
