Our store and cafe are open for regular business and have all the safety protocols in place that one would expect... We're seating only to half capacity and request that folks mask up when not eating or drinking. We have an excellent air remediation system and our staff is careful and responsible with our cleaning regime. We believe we're one of the safest locations around and we hope to see you here soon.
Please walk in and enjoy our yummy food and beautiful wares that make a difference to artists and craftspeople throughout the world!!
What to expect for our shows
We're taking precautions for all of our safety. First, we have installed a medical grade filtration system which pumps aerosolized hydrogen peroxide into our rooms. Information about it can be accessed at https://www.rgf.com/products/air/reme-halo/ and https://sunset-air.com/does-the-reme-halo-really-work/.
We also require vaccination cards with boosters for entry to our shows, or a negative covid test taken within the last 48 hours.
We also require staff and customers to wear masks both in the store and in the cafe. We ask that folks wear their masks at all times except when seated and eating. If ever you don't have a mask but you'd like to come in, don't fret! Call us at (360) 705 2819 and we will bring one to the door.
Dinner reservations start 2 hours before showtime. Since we're seating one pod per table and there are only 14 tables we expect to run out of dinner reservations early. So, reserve now for a grand evening!
It's a joy to be able to commune with and serve you all once again and we want to do our best to help everyone be both happy and safe.
Call 360-705-2819 for tickets and dinner reservations.
