Yesterday, Unhinged Coffee & Co officially cut the ribbon on our space in Knightdale. And honestly, we don’t even know where to begin.
Standing there looking out at the crowd that showed up to celebrate was one of the most emotional moments of our lives. We saw our community standing there cheering us on the way they have from the very beginning. Familiar face after familiar face. And we felt so, so beyond loved.
When we started this, we set out to create a third space. The one we’d all been craving. A place where vulnerability is welcomed, where mental health conversations are normalized, where you can walk in on your worst day and still feel like you belong. A space that reminds people life is chaotic and it’s okay to not be okay. Yesterday felt like proof it’s real.
We truly could not have done any of this without each and every single one of you.
To Knightdale as a whole, thank you. From the Public Works team that keeps this gorgeous town looking the way it does, to our Mayor Jessica Day for being a part of our special day, to our incredible Knightdale PD who, when I called last minute realizing just how many of you amazing people had shown up, SHOWED UP right back. They came out to help with traffic and slow drivers down for safety, no questions asked. That kind of response doesn’t happen everywhere. It happens here in our amazing town that we are so blessed to be a part of.
To our team, who cranked out drinks all day with the kind of heart and hustle that makes this whole thing work. We see you. If we don’t say it enough, THANK YOU!
To every vendor and every food truck who turned a ribbon cutting into a block party. You brought your craft to our parking lot and made it what it was.
To every single person standing in that crowd. Every regular. Every first-timer. Every friend who’s been here since the cart days. Every neighbor who didn’t have to take us in and did anyway. You are the reason any of this exists.
We’ve always said our job is to keep showing up, keep doing the work, and keep being grateful out loud. Yesterday was us being grateful out loud.
So hold on tight, Knightdale…. We’re just getting started. 🧡 👀
