We've reached the point in the summer where the majority of our amazing staff returns to school, either as students or teachers, which means we occassionally just don't have enough team members available to be open. Alas! Saturday, August 29th is one of those days. We'll be open again on Sunday at 11am and look forward to seeing you then 💖

On that note, if you or someone you know is interested in picking up a few shifts a week from now through October 25th, please send us a DM! We are hiring! 😁
