Reopen Mantra Coffee – A Community Space You’ve Help Build

Dear Mantra Fam,

We can’t believe it’s already been nearly 10 months since we closed. During this time, we’ve been dreaming about the future of Mantra—a future that stays true to the welcoming, community-centered space you’ve always loved, with exciting new additions.

In times like these—when many of us are feeling the strain of political divisions, economic challenges, and social isolation—we’re convinced that spaces like this are more important than ever. They provide a safe place to come together, connect, and find common ground.

Why This Matters

We all have our memories here—the conversations, the quiet moments, and the laughter shared with friends. With your help, we’re determined to preserve those memories and create even more. This GoFundMe campaign is our way of securing the support needed to reopen with a concept that keeps everything you love while evolving for the future.

For us, this has always been more than just a place to grab a drink—it’s been shaped by you.

We met our best friends here.

We found the courage to share our art for the first time.

We started book clubs, launched projects, and had conversations that stretched into the night. (…Remember when we were open till 1 a.m. daily? We sure do.)

We’ve witnessed life happen within these walls—first dates, engagements, breakups, arguments, and celebrations. This is where we came together. And reopening isn’t just about bringing back a business; it’s about reviving the community we’ve built.

What’s Next

Now, as we look ahead to this next chapter, we’re once again turning to you. Your past support has shown that together, we can make anything happen. With a new name (which we’ll share soon!), added offerings, and the same welcoming vibe you remember, you’ll soon be able to enjoy a coffee or unwind with a cocktail—whether meeting up with friends or enjoying a quiet moment to yourself. Mantra 2.0 will continue to be a chill, community-centered space with something for everyone.

How You Can Help

If this vision sounds like something you want to see, we’d love your support. Your contributions will directly help us:

- Fund renovations and upgrades

- Secure licensing and permits

- Bring this reimagined space to life

Every contribution—including sharing this campaign—brings us closer to reopening the doors and making this vision a reality.

We can’t wait to introduce you to Mantra 2.0 when it becomes a reality. Thank you for being part of this journey and for continuing to support a space that’s become so deeply woven into our community.

Hopeful Cheers,

Team Mantra
