We have some very exciting news to share…. We’ve been awarded a $20,000 grant as one of 500 small businesses selected across the country for the Amex Shop Small Grants Program! We are incredibly proud and humbled to have been selected for this. Many thanks and gratitude to and for selecting us. What this means for you is that we have a hefty chunk of cash to put forward into our infrastructure. First up, a bigger espresso machine with double the capacity we have now! We also have our eye on several other improvements we’d like to make, all aimed at making our customers experience even better. We have 6 months to accomplish all these changes. So stay tuned as we go on an improvements-spree! 🙏😻
