Help Mike Tummolo Build Xroads Community Hub

Welcome to XROADS Cafe @ 119 Knickerbocker

Hi there, I'm Mike Tummolo, and I'm thrilled to introduce you to our exciting new venture: Xroads Cafe, Garden, and Alchemia Studio. For years, I've been deeply involved in fostering community through JunXion, ecstatic dance and various cultural initiatives.

From being a DJ/Musician, native new yorker and magic maker it has been a privilege to have a strong community with Brooklyn roots and to all our peoples across the globe. Now, I'm excited to embark on a new chapter with a space designed to be a vibrant hub for culture and connection in our community.

At Xroads, our mission is simple yet profound: to create a space where people come together to share experiences, foster creativity, and build lasting relationships. Inspired by the spirit of JunXion, we've poured our hearts into crafting a welcoming environment where everyone is valued and celebrated.

We have been blown away by all the love, support and messages asking how to help and now here is how you can. We want YOU to be a part of the story.

Why We Need Your Support

We've already invested into building Xroads, including setting up our vibrant cafe, acquiring equipment, and covering initial startup costs. While our business is on the brink of sustainability, we need additional funds to ensure we can continue to operate smoothly and grow sustainably.

Specifically, we're seeking funds to boost our marketing efforts to increase revenue, additional equipment to enhance customer experience, payroll & staff to maintain operations and ensure that our vibrant community space thrives for years to come.

Our Commitment to Excellence

Xroads isn't just another cafe—it's a testament to our dedication to quality and community. We proudly serve high-quality beverages and food sourced from local businesses, ensuring every visit supports our local economy and delights your taste buds. All of our coffee is fair-trade and is of the highest caliber.

The Alchemia Studio, spanning over 1,000 square feet, is a sanctuary for wellness, dance workshops, breathwork, artistic expression, and healing. It's a place where individuals can explore new passions, connect with like-minded souls, and nourish their minds, bodies, and spirits.

Join Us on This Journey & How You Can Support

The next chapter awaits. This project isn't just about me or JunXion—it's about all of us coming together to create something extraordinary. I am blown away by the support I’ve received from Friends and Family on this adventure; from messages to phone calls and late-night conversations burning the midnight oil. Building a small business is no small thing.

Whether you're a longtime supporter of JunXion, Ecstatic Dance NYC, a lover of community spaces, or simply someone who believes in the power of culture and creativity, your donation and contribution means the world to us.

By contributing to our GoFundMe campaign, you're not just supporting a business; you're investing in a vision—a vision of a thriving community space where friendships are forged, ideas are sparked, and memories are made.

Thank you for considering making a donation Xroads Cafe, JunXIon, and Alchemia Studio. Together, let's make this dream a reality and create a space that enriches lives and uplifts spirits for years to come.

Who is XROADS and Alchemia Studio

Our space is for tastemakers, creators, musicians, local community, families, artists, burners, filmmakers, startups, wellness practitioners, yoga, coffee community and beyond.
