I know all to well of the absolute heartbreak and devastation losing everything one has poured their heart and soul into.... please help however you are able 😭

Well, when it rains.. it pours.
While our pop-up shop was off to a great start, the city decided that our building was considered unstable and at risk for collapsing. Our section of Main Street is now closed and the area surrounding the Cafe has been taped off. Now we wait for a structural engineer inspection.

We will have a table at the Cook Area Farmers Market on Saturday from 8am-12pm. We completely sold out of Take & Bakes today, but we will still have mugs and other merchandise to buy. Please stop by, order online or message us to buy, or consider donating to our GoFundMe. We appreciate the support and those who helped us today ❤️

It's hard to believe it's been 2 years. There are times it still feels like yesterday and at the same time it feels like a lifetime ago. Healing and moving on....

Can it really be a year today? At times it feels like yesterday and other times a lifetime ago. When does the brain catch up?

It’s official: we are not reopening Cook Dollar Barn…our hearts just aren’t in it anymore. If you or someone you know is interested in opening a dollar store in Cook, we’d be happy to consult. Also, the two city lots are up for… [ 212 more words. ]
