PLOT TWIST: We’re OPEN Thursday & Friday! ☕

Just one day after we announced our paving closure — and after signs were printed and announcements were sent — the City of Salida let us know today that paving in front of Brew & Bloom has been moved to next week.

So, change of plans:

☕ OPEN Thursday, Sept. 17 & Friday, Sept. 18
🚧 CLOSED Monday, Sept. 21 & Tuesday, Sept. 22 for paving
🌸 REOPENING Wednesday, Sept. 23

Construction schedules apparently like to keep everyone on their toes. 😅

In the meantime, please come see us! First Street construction has already had a significant impact on Brew & Bloom, and every coffee, meal and treat you purchase helps support our nonprofit mission and paid employment opportunities for our Achievers.

We’re open — and we’d really love to see you Thursday and Friday!

Road construction hasn't been easy on our little shop, but your community support keeps us brewing. As a nonprofit social enterprise of Achieve, Inc., every cup, meal, and treat you buy directly supports paid job training and meaningful employment for neurodivergent individuals in our community.

We can’t wait to welcome you back over the new pavement when we reopen Saturday, September 19!
Thank you for standing by our Achievers—see you Saturday! ❤️

✨ Support local. Support inclusion.
