Pinch punch — latte art, heatwave hacks + Toby's big event
June 1st marks another month at Brewed and boy has it been a beautiful one. Sun out, iced lattes flying, trying not to melt behind the bar.
PINCH PUNCH! Happy June, my friends!
June 1st marks another month in the books at Brewed + boy, has it been a beautiful one! The sun has been out, the iced lattes have been flying + we've been collectively trying not to melt behind the bar.
Café turns art gallery
Aside from the heat, the hottest new thing at Brewed right now is our latte art progression.
Sadie + Ella have been deep in their swans this month while Jess has been perfecting her tulips. I've loved seeing them come to life. Massive thank you to everyone who has received some slightly "abstract" art along the way + still chose to see the vision. We know one thing to be true: real art takes time!
Our newest team member, Achilleas, has also been working hard at perfecting his milk texture + latte art. From never touching an espresso machine three months ago to now being the feather king at Brewed, his progression has been impressive.
To add to all the beauty, Sadie accidentally created what may have been the café's most important + most fleeting contemporary art installation to date:
Too hot to function
Our single dyson fan was no match to the heat that May brought. Thank you to our regulars that gifted us fans + ice cream to get us through this month <3
We (me) panic-bought three new fans for the café. There is now a consistent gentle breeze keeping our bodies chill + morales hot.
Toby's BIG event
Toby is hosting his first ever Brewed event this June + I am feeling like a proud father.
On June 27th, we're teaming up with Give Endlessly for a one-day + one-night café takeover raising money for Second Chance Café, a pay-as-you-feel community café located just across Clissold Park from us.
This tugs at my heart strings a bit. For Second Chance Café, for Toby, for Brewed, for our community. I hope to see y'all there <3
Summer market?!?
Since last December's Holiday Market, I haven't been able to stop thinking about doing a Summer Market for August.
So, this is my call to you! If you make cool things, if you know someone who makes cool things or if you know a cool small business, please send them our way! info@brewed.online
Put a bow on it
To wrap it all up, May has felt warm in every sense of the word.
Thanks a million for filling the café with so much life + love lately. Whether you've been stopping in for a quick iced flat white, taking away beers to the park or hiding from the heatwaves, thank YOU!
Until next month, Kate <3
