To our Lyriks Cafe family,

We wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for your patience over the past month. We’ve been closed more than usual while balancing travel, family time, and having our son with us for the summer — moments that mean a lot to us.

Like many small businesses, we’ve also had to work through some unexpected challenges behind the scenes, including switching internet service providers after ongoing service issues created disruptions for us. It has taken some extra time and effort, but we're putting the pieces in place to make sure we come back stronger and provide a better experience moving forward.

We truly appreciate every message, every check-in, and everyone who has continued supporting us through the ups and downs. Your support means more than you know.

We will be introducing new flavored coffee roasted specifically for Lyrik’s by none other than Clifton’s own Old Dog Coffee. We’re excited for what’s ahead and look forward to seeing everyone again soon.

The store will operate Monday - Sat 9am - 5pm All Summer.

For questions or updates, feel free to reach us at: (470) 955-0144

What’s that old saying ?

“Good work don’t need a brass band.”

The Forge Hats.
Second release.
Only 3 left. 🏁

At some point, the work has to speak for itself.

No gimmicks. No popularity contests. Just quality, intention, and appreciation for every single person supporting us locally and internationally.

Real always travels further than hype.

Let’s connect over coffee in the am @ Run Club 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏘️🏡🚞🚂🌳

We sincerely appreciate everyone who has checked in on us this past week. We’ve been closed while handling some maintenance at the shop and tending to a few personal family matters—your support truly means a lot to us.

We’re happy to share that we’ll be back open tomorrow from 8AM–4PM, kicking things off with Lyrik’s Run Club and showing love in support of this year’s Mayfair.

Make your way downtown and let’s celebrate Clifton at its best. There’s nothing like this community when we all come together.

Hope to see you all very soon 🤍🏘️🚂⛰️

Best,
Lyrik’s Cafe & Co

Shout out to C&Oh Ice Cream Depot 🍨
They came to the neighborhood! 🎉 We heard the classic ice cream truck jingle. Truly gave the nostalgia of panicking for loose cash and running outside barefoot! Great ice cream as always. 👏
