Support Your Local Caffeine Dealers!
Help Us Restore Our Beloved Neighborhood Coffee Shop!

Friends, Neighbors, & Coffee Lovers,

We are reaching out to our local community and neighbors and asking for support. Our beloved shop was broken into night of May 20th. Thankfully the damage and financial impact could have been worse; though it is still significant on our backend.
We are hoping to raise the funds to replace our POS system and the amount that was taken from the register.

Our Story
In 2020 the East Village Cafe (formally the Village Grind) reopened with new ownership and a new vision. Today, the cafe is women owned and operated. Providing the Arts District in downtown Long Beach a communal space for those to connect over a latte or fresh bagel.

How You Can Help
Every dollar counts.
We are asking for the community's support to help us recover from the financial losses from the incident as well as replacing our POS system.
Your donations will contribute to:

  • Replacing stolen equipment.
  • Recovering funds lost from our cash box.
  • Repair broken locks and enhance safety measures to prevent future incidents.

Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a tremendous difference in helping us recover from this setback. Your support will not only help restore our shop but also uplift the spirit of our community.

We are deeply grateful for the love and support we have always received from our community. It is your business, patronage, & encouragement that keeps East Village Cafe in operation. Without you, we wouldn't be here. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for standing with us through this time. We look forward to seeing you in the shop and sharing many new memories together.

Note: if you are unable to contribute financially, sharing this campaign with your friends and family would mean the world to us. Thank you for your support!
