Sneak away from your BBQ and try some coffee — we are down here all day.

Better come down and get some coffee action. Moped Swarm is still in action.

Wow, thanks everyone that invested into our Kiva loan! We managed to reach our goal in 2 Days! Stay tuned for what is coming next. This is going to be fun!

Very excited to announce that we are working with Kiva to raise the last bit of funding we need for our in house Cafe. We are raising $5000 via Kiva, and Lisc is matching that. We need 14 investors of a minimum of $25 from our personal network to kick in before the campaign goes live, so if you want to see a Coffee House north of North St, please check it out, and share.

Lets open a Coffee Shop A loan of $5,000 helps complete the final steps of electrical and plumbing work needed to bring good coffee and food to our Northside Neighborhood.

Just a reminder that we are hosting an event with the Kalamazoo Public Library called Beer Label Art. It will be here Friday starting at 5pm. It is part of the 3rd annual Overdue Brew. Come on out!

Art Hop: Beer Label Art - Kalamazoo Public Library Enjoy beer label art by local artists Paul Sizer and Leigh Ann Theisen. Shay Church of Grayling Ceramics will also demonstrate how he makes his beautiful ceramic growlers and more. Please register.

Did you know that we rent space for events? Parties, corporate events, rehearsals, play productions, etc. are a great fit. Our beautiful natural light is perfect for photoshoots. If you need space, inquire within.

You've still got time to grab some beautiful gifts from Grayling Ceramics. They'll be open tonight until 6:30 and tomorrow (Saturday) 10a-3pm.

They've got gorgeous salt cellars, growlers, cups, steins, bowls and plates. Gifts for everyone!

We get a great mention in this episode of Kalamazoo Lively Arts via an interview with Daniel Kastner. Good work 77!
