To Our Community,

It is with a heavy heart that after years of hard work here at the cafe, we have come to the difficult decision to close our doors.

I cannot express how grateful I am to the travelers from around the world, the staff who have come and gone (and come back on school breaks) and, most especially, to our locals who frequented this little spot. We enjoyed meeting and brunching with every single one of you—watching your kids grow a bit taller, and their pallets getting a bit more adventurous over the years. These past years have been both fulfilling and extremely difficult on our family—and it’s now time for me to start cooking for my own family a bit more often. I have greatly enjoyed being a part of this community and will hold forever the kindness you have shown me.

This Saturday (tomorrow), 10/14, we will be hosting a merchandise (and some family items) liquidation sale at our home from 8-11am (sorry no early birds!) along with several houseplants and decor from the shop. We would love to see your faces even if you’re not in the market for some amazing goods, just come give us a hug or a high five goodbye! Find us at 2122 Harris St. in SLO.

I wish you all the best, and I hope to see you around town!

Thanks again,
Josh (+ Betsi, Shailoh + Bobbi and the entire Mint + Craft family)

As our 3 year old art director took the shoot outside for better lighting, a lady walked by and said, “Those are the best beans.” We totally agree. They don’t just get you some arm candy attention, they also really show off around the dinner table.

Then there’s the Soup Club cookbook—think watercolor, haiku, vegan. Then add in an author who fought cancer with soup + community. Then think about how one pot of soup feeds you for dinner + then freezes for the future. You are getting close to understanding how valuable this cookbook is. We use it every week during the chilly months. With the beans of course. All in stock at Mint.

An Ethiopian/Rwanda blend with notes of chocolate and blueberry is based on a coffee I tasted back in 2016–took us a few months, but Shawn nailed it.

This storm has us thinking about pantry items…especially these pastas from . Slow dried + well-sourced, try Cascatelli—a brand new pasta shape made in collaboration w/James Beard Award winner Dan Pashman for max Sauceability, Forkability, and Toothsinkability (his standards for good pasta) or try their H**p Rigatoni—organic + protein packed, these celery-ribbed classics are just waiting for a tasty sauce friend.

No boring or empty pantries on our watch.
