Magno Terra Cafe by Chefette Toni

I have some hard news to share.

We did not get the new space in Portland and Magno Terra will be pausing operations, indefinitely, while I figure out what comes next.

This isn’t easy to write. This business has been years of my life — a lot of love, a lot of work, a lot of hope for what it could become in a new home. Running a small business has meant long hours, hard decisions, and more sacrifice than most people ever see — and I’ve given it everything I had. Right now I don’t have a clear answer on what the path forward looks like, and I’m not going to pretend I do.

What I do know: I’m still open to the right space, if one comes along. And in the meantime, I’m also looking for work — so if you know of anything, or think of me, I’d genuinely appreciate it.

Thank you to everyone who has supported this dream, cheered us on, and believed in Magno Terra. That support has meant everything, and it still does. I’m not done — I just need a little time to find my way to the next step.

With love & gratitude,

Toni

Examples include tables, chairs, cutlery, dishes, bowls, glassware, artwork, etc. Hopefully it would save you a run to goodwill!
6. Oh and like our requests before positive reviews on GOOGLE & FACEBOOK and spreading the word about us for folks to follow our new journey!

Today is our last day at Magno Terra Café.

I don’t know if there are enough words to express what this little café has meant to me, my family, my team, and this community.

What began as a dream grew into so much more than a place to grab a cup of coffee or a sandwich. It became a place where friendships were made, milestones were celebrated, difficult days were made a little brighter, and countless conversations were shared across the counter.

To every customer who chose us, every regular who became family, every child who grew up visiting us, every vendor who supported us, and every employee who poured their heart into this place—thank you. You helped build something truly special.

While today is the end of this chapter, it is not the end of Magno Terra.

We’re taking everything we’ve learned, every relationship we’ve built, and every ounce of passion with us as we work toward our next home. I truly believe the best is still ahead.

If you’re able, stop by today to say hello, share a memory, or simply enjoy one last coffee with us in this space. It would mean the world.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in me and in Magno Terra.

This isn’t goodbye.

It’s simply, see you soon.

With endless gratitude,

Toni ❤️ “Rooted in the earth. Crafted with care. And because of you, our roots continue to grow.”

Please share!!!!

OUR TIME HERE IS almost DONE. PLEASE READ our exit plan!

To our Dear & Beloved Community,

Our time here at the Eartha Building is coming to an end.

OUR LAST DAY OPEN AS THE CAFE WILL BE FRIDAY JULY 17TH!

Toni will be available for the meal program and catering the following two weeks until 7/30

Magno Terra Continues...but it won't be easy but I guess it never really has been. This will be long

Where to: While we are hopeful to move on and continue, the path forward is still being created. We have a location. It needs a lot of work so we cannot share a location or timeline just yet.

In the in between:
Ok, so it is important that we stay connected with you and keep things going somehow. So in between, all staff will be let go : ( I have tried very hard to not have that happen but have also been transparent with staff of this very possibility.

I will be working on catering and having the meal program going from July- End of August taking a break for my sanity somewhere in there. More details on catering and meals after we close.

The goal of catering and meals is to stay connected with our community, continue to create revenue to fund our future and to uphold our financial responsibilities that don't go away when the cafe does.

We hope you will continue to follow us and see where we take melas and catering in the in between. We hope to have pick-ups in Portland & Yarmouth...maybe some nearby pop-ups too!

What do we need? When we made the initial announcement that we would be closing we reached about 45,000 people. When we made the announcement that we were here a bit longer that message reached about 2500 people. This has had a SIGNIFICANT impact on our typical summer business and there is nothing we can do about that. However, when we did announce our situation MANY of you expressed the desire to help so here is what we need

But first, our next location is going to be a HOMEGROWN, GRASSROOTS sort of approach. Much like I always have I will have to get creative in how we open and how we fund the next operation that is where you may be able to help...
-
We will be collecting donations of items and things that can help get us open
* tables & chairs
*miscellaneous, unique decor
*miscellaneous art pieces
*furniture pieces - (couches,sitting chairs, end tables)
*miscellaneous cutlery (to continue to try and be environmentally friendly
*miscellaneous dishes, glassware
* we are open to ideas
* old sink or vanity?
* old lighting fixtures
* miscellaneous tile pieces or wood scraps that could be used to build counters?

I do have a vision, so everything may not be a great fit however, I am willing to come around and take away your unwanted items and help build our new space. Maybe it helps you offload something you are downsizing!I particularly like items that have a story and a meaning because every part of building this business has so much of that and we will share the story if you want or not at all! All of this can be kept 100% ANONYMOUS

The next location will feel WARM EARTHY, COMFORTABLE WELCOMING TO ALL, RELAXING. I want it to feel like it's always been there and it always will be a place that becomes a staple for the neighborhood and the community that surrounds it.

Other ways to help:
-stay signed up here and see when we offer our meal program and the details about it
-write a google review
-keep spreading the word about us- we have never advertised outside of our own social media page and have always depended on the power of word of mouth! Tell your friends and family to follow-us so when we do open they will hear about it!
-follow us on all social media platforms
-WANT TO HELP US MOVE? TEXT TONI 207-409-7602
(packing the week of 7/27-7/31 off an on. MOVING ITEMS AUGUST 1ST & 2ND & then as needed until 08/05. CLEANING 8/5 &8/6
-COLD HARD CASH I do not know how else to say this and do not want to offend anyone but startup costs donations are something we are considering. I am currently looking into various forms of fundraising and will keep you posted on any campaigns I come up with. Funding a new restaurant while closing a current one is no joke. It is hard to make money in this business nevermind doing under strenuous circumstances. We do not want pity but really want a community driven movement to help get us to our next chapter if we can!

I have so many words of gratitude to our community but that will come later as we are still here
