Picture for Attention

📣📣📣📣

Just a quick reminder that Trunk or Treat setup begins at 6 PM, with trick-or-treating and festivities kicking off at 7 PM! We’re looking forward to seeing everyone tonight!

🚗 A quick parking reminder: We know there’s a lot happening in our parking lot today, so we kindly ask that any vehicles parked between the light pole directly in front of the shop and the coffeeshop be moved by 5:30 PM. This will allow us to safely park and accommodate everyone participating in our Trunk or Treat.

Thank you all for your cooperation and understanding! We can’t wait for a fun evening with our community! 🧡🎃

Another long one 🫣 sorry guys, but hang with us!

🎃 OH NO! A LITTLE HALLOWEEN MIX-UP! 👻

We noticed a discrepancy in our Trunk or Treat posts! Our flyer floating around has a 7PM start time, rather than the originally planned 6PM. To avoid any confusion, we’ve decided to adjust our schedule and push everything back an hour!

We’re so sorry for the mix-up, guys! We wish we had caught it sooner, but we appreciate everyone being so understanding! 🧡

🕸️ UPDATED TRUNK OR TREAT SCHEDULE
📅 Saturday, October 31st

🚗 6:00 PM — Trunk Setup Begins
Everyone handing out candy is welcome to arrive! This gives everyone a full hour to get parked, decorated, and ready for the trick-or-treaters.

☕ 6:30 PM — Coffeehouse Opens for Participants
Those setting up and handing out candy are welcome to grab a drink before the festivities begin!

🍬 7:00 PM — TRUNK OR TREAT BEGINS!
Trick-or-treaters, this is your time! The coffeehouse will also officially open to everyone at 7PM.

🚗 PARKING & SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

We’ll begin parking trunks directly in front of the coffeehouse, filling the parking spaces first, then working our way to the right in front of Subway.

If we fill those spaces, we’ll begin directing additional participants to the left, in front of Country Town.

Our goal is to keep everything contained within one designated area so we can safely block off the entrances and prevent vehicles from cutting through while children are trick-or-treating.

We’ll have people on-site helping direct parking and setup, so please follow their guidance when you arrive! Keeping our little trick-or-treaters safe is our top priority! 🧡

Thank you all for rolling with the changes! We’re looking forward to a fun evening filled with costumes, candy, coffee, and community!

We can’t wait to see everyone Saturday night! 🎃🧡

10/27/2026

Thank you all for your kindness, patience, and understanding during today’s unexpected closure! We’ll be back behind the bar tomorrow and open our normal hours for the rest of the week!

We can’t wait to serve you! ☕️

📣📣📣📣

Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, we will be closing early today, Tuesday, October 27th, promptly at 10:00 AM.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and truly appreciate your patience and understanding.

We will return to our normal business hours tomorrow, Wednesday, October 28th. ❤️

This is a little long, but we’ve included crucial information regarding our trunk or treat, so bear with us…

After a long weekend, we’re back and ready to serve you tomorrow! And we’re bringing our Spooky Sips Halloween Specials with us! 👻 Available THIS WEEK ONLY, so be sure to stop in and try one!

🎃 This Saturday, October 31st, is our TRUNK OR TREAT! 🎃

We’ll close at noon as usual and reopen at 6 PM for an evening of trick-or-treating, coffee, and good company!

🍬 Want to hand out candy? We’d LOVE to have you! We can’t make this night special for the kids without our community! You’re welcome to arrive as early as 6PM to park and set up.

A few parking details for those setting up:
We’ll begin parking directly in front of the coffeehouse, following the existing parking spaces, and work our way to the right in front of Subway as those spots fill up. We can also line up down in front of Country Town!

Please keep in mind that Needless Toys will also be hosting a Trunk or Treat, so we want to be mindful and leave room for them as well.

👻 Bringing your trick-or-treaters? Please wait until 7PM to arrive so everyone has time to get parked, set up, and ready!

Let’s come together and make this a fun, memorable Halloween for all the kids! The more people we have handing out candy, the better! 🧡

As always, thank you for supporting our little coffeehouse and showing up for our community. We couldn’t do it without you!

We can’t wait to see everyone this week!
