Book Club Pick 📚✨

We’re diving into Is a River Alive? — a thought-provoking read that explores our connection with nature and what it truly means for something to be “alive.” It blends storytelling with deeper questions about the environment, life, and the unseen rhythms that surround us every day.

A beautiful, reflective book that might just change how you look at the world around you 🌿

On This Day in Coffee History…

“In the 1600s, coffee houses began spreading across Europe — becoming known as “penny universities” because for the price of a cup, you could join conversations about politics, art, and science”

From those early cafés to ours today — some things never change.
Great coffee. Great conversations.
Happy Saturday!
