Earthbound Cafe

06/01/2026

Making some progress, starting to see the way through (again). A very difficult week... but if we post this a thousand more times we'll get there! 😀 Just kidding, thank you to everyone who has been helping and coming in, making things better bit by bit. An overview spiel here, but currently $$ goes to paying back rent and hopefully new signage and some gear repair/acquisition...
Earthbound Cafe has been rough, but we've made it over a year... location location... oops we're in a basement! It's amazing to me how difficult people seem to find it to figure out that sometimes a place is inside of a place. You know, basic concept lol. Besides this the biggest lesson has been always come in with enough money. Boy, we weren't even close! There were a lot of obstacles- scaffolding in our seating area the opening weeks... space next door flooded requiring a lot of noisy fans... had maybe not a great handle on what we needed to be doing... city implemented streets plan cutting off parking and sometimes driving all around the place during the first months... media company incompetence affecting web presence (we let them go)... annoying "friend" sabotage affecting media presence. But here we are, mentally, physically and emotionally beat down, but kind of working on a better plan. Less focus on the daily/weekdays, better farmers market integration, take home/personal cheffing and meal planning (we call that Moonbase and it's doing fine), brunch every Sunday, special events and popups, more active catering gigs search. It'll possibly work... markets start next week so I can focus on that. Gonna put the GFM here though because we accrued back rent, been slowly whittling that down. I still have hope, the food is well received, we're trying. Make a lot of mistakes then make it right. Anyway, whew! I never imagined it would be as crazy as all that, but welcome to the club I guess!

Will be more fun in the post about this, this time. Even though things have been the opposite of fun lately... it's Saturday night, you're taking a party pause, beverage in one hand, phone in the other, and before you make any other great decisions you decide to make the best one, scrolling through various pictures of cats, complaints, and playlists you see the plea by the hapless Earthbound Cafe, once again. And you decide, hey I'll push send and give these people a little scratch. Maybe this eternal GFM will finally pay off!
Golly, thanks you guys!! 😀 Couldn't do it without you all, looking forward to moving forward... plus it feels good to haaaaallllp! Thank you for making great decisions! 💖

Don’t you just love brunch?! We sure do! And that’s why you should come down this Sunday (that’s tomorrow) to Earthbound Cafe from 9am til 1pm. We are located at 207 N. Broadway inside the Valley Building and downstairs/elevator in the atrium courtyard, in downtown Billings. Favorites like biscuits and gravy, French toast, bennies, aebleskiver, and more. Something for meat eaters, vegans, vegetarians and gluten free folks. Come on down and bring a friend, no reservations needed!

Bit of a day today.

I am open today, just don’t have the sign board out, going to try to repair it by Sunday (speaking of which come to brunch). I’m working on a couple of special orders, so being low key for the moment. Specials this morning are similar to yesterday. I’ll post about lunch when 11 rolls around. Thanks.

Hmmm... yes making some progress. I think we've said all we need to say about this- a lot going on, back rent blah blah blah, so anyway...
