Solar eclipse-12/8/26 THANK YOU 🫶🏻

We opened for our first evening of trade and boy did we have fun.
The atmosphere and community support is exactly why I don’t want a bricks and mortar building. Our container, as rustic and unconventional as it is, means that we get to be apart of the community, the event, the experience, and with that you get to be apart of ours.
You see the chaos when it’s busy. drinks being made, hear the drone of grinder, the blender, the banter as we work through the orders. You don’t get that with the normal set up.
I love that we are in a random spot, one that you wouldn’t expect to see a cafe, a professional set up but not the norm.
When we finally swing the containers into position across the road and sit between the tree lines, the hope is that we can keep our relaxed vibe, the quirky festival type space where you can chill and watch the sunset, the swifts and bats darting across the evening sky. It’ll be a space you can escape to and breath.
That’s the vision guys. I hope you’re on board because I’d love for you to join us on the journey.

Thank you to everyone who joined us last night for the eclipse. What a magical evening ❤️

Eclipse plans?
Grab a drink, find a quiet spot, (we’re a stone’s throw from the peaceful reservoir), and watch the sky transform 🌒.
Perfect 👌.
Open 6pm - 8pm on 12th August.
