Placeholder Coffee

Today is our last day as the operators of Placeholder. We’re still hoping to find some human(s) to take the torch and continue bringing coffee and hospitality to downtown Wichita. Announcements will be made here if and when there is news on that front. In the meantime, Placeholder will be closed.

Placeholder was born out of curiosity and a tongue-in-cheek nod to the transitory nature of existence. Thanks for joining us on the journey.

Love who and what you love for as long as you can. Let go of what no longer serves you. Cultivate space for paradox and mystery. Let pain lead you to joy. When fear narrows your vision and closes your heart, breathe deeply, look around, and lean into curiosity.

Much love, y’all.

-Ian and Jubilee

Our friends are on a quest to document Wichitan’s Covid stories and they request your help! For more info., simply scan the QR code on your cup sleeve the next time you come in, or head to wichitalibrary.org.

Surprised by this snow? We’re here with that sweet nectar to warm up your inside parts. Stay safe. Stay curious.

Downtown? We’re here to be a pit stop on your way to what’s next. Stop. Breathe. You’re doing great.

We’re here until 3 today.

It’s slick! We’re giving ourselves some extra time to get here safely. We’ll see you at nine. Be safe!

Now serving:

Freshly-baked, house-made smoked sea salt chocolate chip cookies. We thought about everything we wanted in a chocolate chip cookie and Jubilee made one that hits all the right notes. Come get one before we eat them all.

Oh, did we mention that they’re grain free? You wouldn’t even know if we didn’t tell you.

Who’s digging that sunshine? Kinda matches our counters.

We’re here until 3 if you need a caffeinated treat.

Friends,

We’ll be opening at 10 today. Take your time this morning. It’s very cold. We’ll see you soon!

We’re opening at nine tomorrow (2/18) to give us a bit more time to make it in safely. We’ll see you soon.

Stay warm. Stay safe. See you tomorrow.

Due to the predicted snowstorm we’re going to wait to see how things feel tomorrow morning. We won’t be opening at 7. We’ll post here tomorrow when we have a plan for opening safely. Stay safe. Stay warm. Stay curious.

We’re gonna take it slower again tomorrow morning. Be safe and we’ll see you between 9-3. Peace, folx!
