<div>In 2013, best friends Jack Ball and Brett Boye decided to turn the small plumber’s office at 5002 Penn Avenue into a tea shop. It took two years of renovations to turn that building into the cantina-like shop you walk into today; adding stucco walls, a mosaic-tile floor, and a DIY-assemblage style bar counter incorporating old trolley tracks and glass bottles. Open seven days a week, Bantha creates an inclusive environment, welcoming anyone and everyone who walks in for a cup of tea. The shop also hosts a variety of events, including live bands and DJs, comedy shows, poetry readings, and the occasional karaoke night. Over the years, Bantha Tea Bar has become a staple in the Bloomfield-Garfield community and the wider Pittsburgh region, acting as a third space for people all over the city. As Bantha approaches its ten-year anniversary, we find ourselves in a dangerous position. With the never-ending construction swallowing Penn Avenue and rising tariffs on our stock, Bantha is at risk of closing its doors for good. As the surrounding neighborhoods have seen a strong shift in demographics with many small businesses closing, Garfield is beginning to see a similar trend. With Brett and Jack being in the neighborhood for over 15 years they have been able to withstand a variety of challenges, and become a safe space for locals, immigrants, the LGBTQ community and many more. <strong>Jack, Brett, and all the baristas at Bantha want to continue serving the community for another ten years and beyond, but we need your support to keep going. </strong>
