🚨Brew Haven Update 🚨
This is not how I envisioned my Saturday ending, and it truly breaks my heart to have to say this… but Brew Haven will be closed for a few days.
Something happened to our espresso machine overnight, and the only thing I can think of is that it may have been hit by lightning. Nothing else in the building was affected, but I came in this morning to flickering lights on the machine and the boiler not kicking on. It worked for just a brief moment while there was still water in the boiler, but once that was gone… it was done.
This isn’t a small piece of equipment I can just “push through” with and hope for the best. This is a $30,000 machine, I have reached out to the company that helped me purchase it, but unfortunately they are closed on the weekends. I will be contacting them first thing Monday morning. If it comes down to it, I will be loading it up and taking it to Texas to the nearest technician whatever it takes, I will get it fixed.
The reality is, coffee makes up about 75% of our business, so opening for just food isn’t sustainable. And while most of you were incredibly kind and understanding today (and I cannot thank you enough for that ❤️), there were a few interactions that reminded me how hateful and hard it is to tell people “we can’t serve you” right now. Rather than continue to disappoint anyone, I’ve made the decision to close until we are fully up and running again.
As much as this hurts, I can’t help but feel like maybe this is God’s way of telling me to slow down. I have worked 106 days straight, minus a quick two-day getaway… and maybe this is my reminder to take a breath, reset, and come back stronger.
We will get through this. Brew Haven isn’t going anywhere. We will be back up and operating before you know it. .
Thank you for your patience, your support, and your understanding. It truly means more than you know.
We are so incredibly sorry… and we will see you all very soon. ❤️
