Sooooo..... had a small intimate wedding in the bookstore Saturday. It was new beautiful vibes for that we can't explain. David and Tiffany BROUGHT love while celebrating it. It was a vibe all the way from Atlanta, Georgia. They celebrated with our coffee and praised our Butter Pound Cake by D. AUGUSTA SWEETS... they affectionately called it repast pound cake (IYKYK).. 😆 They took it back home and savored it. The family came through and drank our sweet potato lattes, blessed our space and a connection was made. It was a reunion of sorts and we're glad you found us. ❤️
