I traded in the espresso machine for a laptop, but I kept the coffee!

As many of you know, the cafe doors have officially closed, but I’m still around and busier than ever!

I’ve officially launched Hodgins Bookkeeping. I’ve taken my love for organizing (and my obsession with details) and turned it into a 100% remote service helping small business owners across Canada and the US reclaim their weekends.

If you’re a business owner who is currently drowning in "messy books" or just wants to focus on your craft instead of your spreadsheets, I’d love to help.

How you can help:

✅ Follow the new page:
https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61576331455815

✅ Spread the word: If you know a contractor, creator, or small biz owner who needs a 'Professional Friend' to clean up their books, send them my way!

Note: Because I work 100% remotely, there’s no need to drop off your receipts my "Snap & Forget" system handles everything digitally from your phone!

I’m currently accepting 3 new clients for February cleanup projects. Tax filing deadlines in April are coming up fast.

Thanks for all the support everyone gave me while the cafe was open; I do sincerely miss everyone. I'm looking forward to this next chapter with you all!

📢 An Update from Northbound Café & Bakery

As we wind down our 2025 season, we wanted to share that Northbound Café & Bakery (and our bookstore) will be closing our doors after Sunday, October 26th.

Our lease is coming to an end, and after much thought, we’ve decided not to renew. It’s always been our goal to own our own space, and we’re now working toward that next exciting chapter further south where we can enjoy a longer ice cream season and keep growing Northbound in new ways.

✨ We are still open every weekend!
We hope you’ll stop in over the next few weeks to enjoy all your favorites our homemade buttermilk waffles, fresh baked goods, ice cream, and cozy bookstore finds.
