OUR WHY
Put simply, life is about our interactions with others.
Creating and maintaining a space to gather, work, laugh and enjoy the company of others is our why.
The symphony that goes along with that is worth the work it takes to operate a small, local coffee shop.
OUR BUILDING
The building was built in the 1940's as a Ford dealership. We purchased it in the summer of 2011. It was loaded with interesting stuff from the previous owner who had an antique shop. Since we bought the building as-is, the cleanup and repairs were on us. Our original use was for Chris's e-commerce business to have a functional home; a commercial location with warehouse and office space. We got her situated after a ton of cleanup, repairs and build-out. The other side of the building was about 1200 square feet of mess. Mold, drop ceilings, junk, wet carpet from a leaky roof and other forms of ewww. This is where I decided to create a place for people to connect. It was a big challenge for me but I had a lot of help with the design, construction and concept from friends, family, contractors, local officials, and lots of research and hard work. And, of course, time.
OUR NAME
Christina and I were having dinner at the Riegelsville Inn when a friend stopped to say hello. He asked how our project was coming along in a joking jabbing kind of way, since my project was taking a long time to complete. Christina chimed in, "oh you mean the SOMEDAY CAFE?"
The name stuck, replacing DURHAM CAFE as our top choice.
