<div><strong>Peaberry Coffee</strong>, the beloved Oak Cliff neighborhood coffee shop in Kiestwood, is facing a critical turning point. For nearly 7 years, Peaberry has been more than a café — it’s been a cultural anchor, a community gathering space, and a homegrown labor of love built by Elijah Salazar and a small, dedicated team.

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Peaberry has weathered the worst:
</div>
<ul>
<li>The COVID-19 pandemic
</li>
<li>A rapidly aging building with a failing AC system
</li>
<li>Two break-ins in just 6 months (<a href="https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/dallas-county/oak-cliff-coffee-shop-broken-twice-three-months/287-f16899fd-2389-483e-bee0-8093a00a3117" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">WFAA</a>)
</li>
<li>An uphill battle to maintain a safe, viable space in a decaying (but beloved) strip center
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Following months of multiple of robberies of the store and with triple-digit temperatures of the summer ahead facing the 80-year-old building without a working AC unit, Peaberry has realized a future in their current space is untenable - both for the safety and comfort of staff and customers alike.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Now it’s time to help them relocate to a new home — one that’s safer, more stable, and better equipped for their next chapter.</strong>

<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>About the Business</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Peaberry is owned and run by Oak Cliff born-and-raised local Elijah Salazar. His approach is simple and honest: treat everyone who walks through the door like family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>“We just want to serve people, serve good coffee, and do our best to be authentic and kind. It’s just us. It’s just our family.” </em>— Elijah Salazar (<a href="https://voyagedallas.com/interview/meet-elijah-salazar-peaberry-coffee-central-oak-cliff/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">VoyageDallas</a>)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This spirit is what’s made Peaberry so essential to the neighborhood. It’s not part of a chain. It’s not a corporate model. It’s a hand-built, love-powered space for the people of Oak Cliff.
</div>
<div><br />

</div>
<div><strong>What the Funds Will Support</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re raising $15,000 to support the next phase of Peaberry Coffee. This amount represents not the whole cost of this transition for Peaberry, but a significant, foundational stepping-stone in helping the small family business find their new home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your contribution will go directly toward:
</div>
<div>Expense	Estimated Cost
</div>
<ul>
<li><em>Rent Deposit + 2 Months at New Site	$4,000-6,000</em>
</li>
<li><em>Moving Fees, Equipment Transport + Setup	$2,000-3,500</em>
</li>
<li><em>Permits, Insurance, Basic Repairs	$1,800-3,500</em>
</li>
<li><em>Back-pay to suppliers and staff	$1,800-2,500</em>
</li>
<li><em>Marketing, Signage, Grand Reopening	$1,000-1,500</em>
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>TOTAL	<strong>$15,000</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Anything raised beyond that will go toward heat-proofing and summer prep, extra staffing, and future-proofing the new space.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />

<div><strong>The Road Ahead - Planning for the Future</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>No fundraising goal means anything without a clear plan to put it into action. Peaberry Coffee isn’t a plug-and-play business—it’s a labor of love, built with care, intention, and authenticity. Finding a new home will take work, creativity, and community—but they're ready.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Elijah and the Peaberry team are actively searching for a new location in Oak Cliff that better supports the safety, sustainability, and vision of the shop. While the space must be right, <strong>their passion, perseverance, and deep desire to get back to serving the neighborhood they love</strong> is what’s driving every step of this journey.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here’s what they anticipate:
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>Next 30 days</strong> – Secure a new location and begin the build-out
</li>
<li><strong>Following weeks</strong> – Finalize inspections, train staff, and relaunch with a refreshed space and renewed energy
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The goal is not just to reopen—but to grow into a <strong>more resilient, welcoming, and community-focused version</strong> of what Peaberry has always been. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li><em>"We love our staff. We love our customers. And we’re doing everything in our power to keep both together, to bring this space back to life—quickly, but meaningfully."</em> - Elijah Salazar
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This isn’t a goodbye. <strong>It’s a new beginning.</strong>
</div>
<div>With your help, the doors will open again—and soon.
</div>

<div><strong>Built by Family, Rooted in Oak Cliff</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Peaberry Coffee is family-owned, minority-owned, and 100% Oak Cliff born and raised. Founder Elijah Salazar grew up just blocks from the shop’s location and built Peaberry from the ground up with a group of local friends and family. They aren’t just business owners—they’re your neighbors.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li><em>“We’re just a small family trying to make a difference in the neighborhood we love. Oak Cliff is our home. It’s where we grew up, and it’s who we serve.”</em> — Elijah Salazar

</div>
<div><strong>Why It Matters</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Peaberry Coffee has hosted local artisans, sponsored Muralfest, regularly invited small and family businesses to exhibit their goods at pop-ups within the shop, and given emerging creators a platform. They’ve supported their neighbors. <strong><em>Now it’s time for us to support them.</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Donate, share, and help Peaberry find its new home.
</li>
<li>Tag us with <strong>#SavePeaberry</strong> and spread the word.
</li>
<li>Let’s make sure Peaberry isn’t just remembered — <em>it’s revived</em>.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>With your help, Elijah, his team, and the Peaberry faithful can rise again — stronger, safer, and more energized than ever.</strong>
