Big News! This will be the last week for Emily Rose. I’m so proud to say that the cafe has been a neighbourhood staple since we opened our doors 5 years ago, and although our shop remains busy and vibrant, there have been some amazing changes in my personal life and I’ve decided to focus on family life for the next little while ❤️
This decision did not come lightly, but I am so excited for what’s to come. We got our keys to this little corner shop in July 2019; went through hurdles to open up; a pandemic, restrictions of all sorts, but found a way to welcome people in, and our cafe slowly starting growing; and that is because of you all 🌈 We’ve had tremendous support since day one, and I can honestly say that’s what keeps us small business owners going; it’s the community, the customers, the friends we’ve made along the way. Who knew that such a small space would have such a huge impact on my life, I am truly grateful for everyone who has come in to grab a drink, a pastry or simply stopped by to say hello. Those quick morning conversations while ordering coffee add up to really getting to know a persons story, those little moments mean so much ✨ We’ve seen babies grow, met all the dogs in the hood, hosted dozens of pop-ups and workshops and have shared our space and shelves with other local artists and businesses 🍵📚 This all would not have been possible on my own. I have been surrounded by the most amazing staff who have truly given Emily Rose that welcoming feeling, and I think that’s what I will miss the most. Talking about movies, series, reality tv or music during the work day make it so fun. But most importantly we have supported each other, we created a work space where we all feel comfortable and can move to our own rhythm and through all my work experience I know that doesn’t come easy 💗
I could go on and on about how much I have loved this experience and opportunity to pursue one of my biggest dreams. But for now, a big THANK YOU!
Our last day is Oct 30th, but the doors are not closing! Something special is coming to this beloved corner, familiar faces and fun changes, stay tuned! Xoxo Alessia
