👋 Hi to all our customers - we miss all your fa 👋 Hi to all our customers - we miss all your faces and hope you all are hanging in there, healthy and sane. We will have a limited menu for the next few weeks. . We will be in for a few hours each day, 11-2 Monday to Friday. The door will not be open for walk-ins (call ahead for coffee too!) We have a ton of book orders ready to go - we will contact each person for pickup or delivery. . You guys are the best, and we couldn't ask for a better community! 🥰
We have been overwhelmed by the amount of support We have been overwhelmed by the amount of support the past few days and weeks! We want to thank the community for supporting us - we have been left speechless numerous times throughout the past few days. . We have made the choice to close the kitchen for the foreseeable future starting immediately. We will be available for books and coffee and gift certificates, and our platforms on libro.fm and bookshop.org will still be available. Every sale has made us smile across all platforms! . We had to make a decision to go full throttle with the kitchen or pull back and wait it out - we have decided it is best to shut it down. We are able to do this because of the extraordinary amount of support the past few days! We cannot thank you enough! We will be at the shop 11-2 for the weekend. We will evaluate from there on a day-to-day basis.

Friends and customers, diners and book browsers, w Friends and customers, diners and book browsers, we hope you are safe and secure for the duration of this ordeal. We will be open for limited hours this week. We will be closed Tuesday (3/17) and open again on Wed (3/18) 9:30-2:30 for takeout, books, and gift certificates. We plan to stay open the rest of the week at those same hours but this is of course a fluid situation and we may have to modify these plans. . If you feel more comfortable staying at home, but still wish to support us, we will also be mailing gift cards to those who call in over the phone. For populations who prefer to not visit, we can also arrange to deliver books to local homes free of charge. We also have a page on libro.fm for audio books and bookshop.org for deliveries. . It is not breaking news that small businesses will struggle during this period - we humbly ask for you to support your favorite local businesses anyway you can. It is not lost on any of us that during these difficult times, even that is asking a lot. . Peace and blessings to all.
Sloth it up! This is a new release from @celestehe Sloth it up! This is a new release from @celesteheadlee - and we couldn't agree more. Take some time for yourself! #slothlife
