Tornado Relief for Beloved E61 Cafe

Hi friends, neighbors, and community members,

We never thought we’d be writing this, but E61 Cafe recently suffered damage due to the Saint Louis tornado on Friday. Our cozy corner of the neighborhood—where so many memories have been made over coffee, conversation, and kindness—is now in need of help.

Since we opened our doors, we’ve been honored to serve this amazing community with every cup we pour. From early morning regulars to late afternoon study sessions, we've been more than just a coffee shop—we’ve been a home away from home for so many.

Unfortunately, the damage has left our space inoperable. Furniture, equipment, and parts of our establishment are damaged. Insurance will cover only a portion, and the rest is up to us.

We’re launching this GoFundMe to raise $10,000 to help with:

Establishment repairs and building restoration

Lost wages for our incredible team during closure

Rebuilding our warm, welcoming interior

We know times are tough for many, and it means the world to us if you can give what you can—no amount is too small. If you can’t donate, sharing our story is a huge help too.

Thank you for believing in us. With your help, we’ll get back to doing what we love: serving great coffee and creating a space where everyone feels welcome.

With gratitude,

E61 Team.

The first Greek coffee shop in St Louis
