To our valued customers,
The past year has been a great ride and we thank you all so much for your patronage. We have decided to take our business in a new direction and "repurpose" our cafe space. Like our parents before us, we will be concentrating on our wholesale baking business and by doing so, we must close the retail portion of the cafe. The space will now be available to rent for parties and meetings with a full espresso bar option (including all the various drinks and smoothies on our menu). Bakers or cooks who need a kitchen approved by the Chicago Department of Public Health can rent the space to do their baking and cooking.
Our coffee beans and baked goods (food for the gods, ensaymadas, banana bread) will be avaliable for purchase by order only.
In addition, Rossana will be hanging her photography/artwork throughout the space to use as a gallery and studio. She will be holding various workshops and her artwork can be viewed or purchased by appointment and during scheduled events (Ravenswood Artwalk, Holiday Artshow/Shopping week in December).
Next Saturday, August 28th, will be the last day that Espresso Thy Art will be open for walk-in customers. To launch our new endeavor, one of our regulars is holding her wedding reception at the cafe that same afternoon. We'll let you know how it turns out, but if past events at the cafe are any indication (e.g. birthday celebrations, graduation party, rehearsal dinner, baby shower, wine-tasting), it promises to be a wonderful time.
Again, thank you all so much for your patronage. Please consider using Espresso Thy Art for your future events/meetings.
Marissa, Rossana, Virginia, Joe, and the rest of the Espresso Thy Art Family
