Coffee. Conversation. Community.
As I posted previously The Children’s Unit of the CMHIFL held a clothing/toy drive this past weekend. They had an AMAZING turnout in donations and we comped about $110 in drinks this week for the OFA clothes/toy collection. David said there were 22 people, just Saturday, that brought donations in the 2 hrs he was here. Bravo to everyone that contributed. Here are some pictures from the collection and just of people hanging out. 
03 Coffee
Welcome to our newest barista, Kelsey ! Kelsey’s had experience at both Mona’s and Mile Hi Coffee and we are happy to have her join our crew. She’s the new face you’ll see around here!
On Sunday, June 28th, join us for the fourth annual Hike for Hospice to benefit Porter Hospice and St. Anthony Hospice. For more than twenty years, these two non-profit hospice programs have helped thousands of people through their end-of-life journey, giving them comfort and peace at a time when they need it most.
Hikers enjoy beautiful views as they climb to 7,600 feet to the top of Olinger Mount Lindo, home of the illuminated cross in Morrison.
All funds raised from Hike for Hospice go towards supporting charity care and hospice services not reimbursed by the Medicare Hospice Benefits including spiritual care, bereavement services, volunteer coordination and palliative care for children through the Butterfly Program.
Hikers can release a dove at the summit in honor or memory of a loved one while overlooking downtown Denver and the foothills. Leashed dogs are also welcome to hike.
For more information and to register, please visit www.hikeforhospice.org. Hikers can register individually or in a team of six. If you have additional questions, please call 303.715.7612.
Thank you for your support, we look forward to hiking with you!
Thanks to Joe L. for this picture of the tornado funnel cloud from last weekend with Wash Perk in the foreground. (I added the arrow – Toni)
Joe said,
“I was sitting there enjoying my first latte in peace in 6 months, and boom, tornado warning. Walked outside [...] and there it was.”
Great picture! Thanks Joe.
We are working on two collections at the shop right now.

Father’s Day is 15% off total bill for dads! So, bring your dad and your dad’s dad and any other dads you know and we’ll all celebrate together.
The process of building up the new site is underway so there will be multiple blog posts coming in at a time. Soon everything will be organized here but bare with us, and by us I mean me, as the “construction” takes place. Thank you all!
