In an unhappy update, Moon River Cafe will be closing at 3PM for the remainder of May.

As a small business run by a mother-daughter team, we are navigating a season of recovery after one of us suffered complications from a broken back. Your kindness, patience, and understanding during this time mean more than we can say.

We are especially grateful to our incredible staff who have been holding down the fort while we are away. Their care, hard work, and love for this community have kept Moon River going, and we couldn’t do this without them. 💛

We look forward to returning to our regular schedule in June, along with a host of new events to kick off the summer season. The next poetry night, which promises to be bigger and better than ever, will be Friday, June 12th at 7pm.

Thank you for continuing to support local, family-run businesses through both the joyful and difficult moments.

With love,
Mary & Kate

Dear Moon River community,

As a small family-run business, sometimes life asks us to slow down in unexpected ways. One of our owners recently suffered a broken back, and as we navigate recovery, we’ll be making some temporary adjustments to our hours and operations.

We are deeply grateful for your patience, kindness, and understanding during this difficult season. Your support means more to us than words can express, and it helps keep Moon River going while we heal.

Thank you for continuing to show up for our little café, our dream, and our family. We appreciate each and every one of you.

With gratitude,
Moon River Cafe & Curiosities
