🌺 Operating hours change announcement 🏝️

Tonight will be our last dinner service before renovations.

We’ll still be open as usual seven days a week, opening at 8am and closing at 3pm each day.

One of our cooks is getting married ❤️ and another is heading off on a well-deserved vacation. Both wonderful reasons to take time away—and both happening while we’re getting ready for our next chapter.

With a renovation closure coming, I don’t feel right hiring someone new only to tell them we’re closing shortly after they’ve learned where everything is.

So we’re working with the crew we have and putting our energy into doing breakfast and lunch well.

And as much as I love feeding you all, spending 50 hours a week cooking doesn’t leave much time to work on renovation plans. Those aren’t going to finish themselves—although I’d be very happy if they did. 😂

Dinner has become such a lovely part of our little cafe, and I’m looking forward to bringing it back after renovations—with lots of exciting new menu items to enjoy! Including this Tiki Tuna Tower.

The photo I’m sharing is a little vision of things to come for future dinners, so consider it a sneak peek of what we’re dreaming up for the next chapter.

In the meantime, come see us for one more dinner tonight! We’ll keep the coffee brewing and your favorites coming for breakfast and lunch, every day from 8am–3pm.

Thank you for sticking with us through all the moving parts. I’ll keep you posted as our renovation plans come together.

We won a $12,000 IMPACT Grant!! 🎉🌺🌴

And this feels like the perfect time to share some more exciting news… renovations are coming to Mel’s Tiki Cafe!

We’re giving our little cafe a fresh look and making improvements to create an even better experience for our guests and team. This grant will go toward purchasing a kitchen hood for better ventilation—something we’ve needed for a long time! 🙌

A heartfelt thank-you to weVENTURE for your help, encouragement and support throughout so many years of my business journey. You are such an incredible support for women in business, and I’m so grateful to have you in my corner. Thank you for believing in me and Mel’s Tiki Cafe! 💛
