That’s right! Gather & Grow is back next weekend — and after a few wild week of cleanup and rebuilding, this one’s going to feel extra special.
As many of you know, a few days ago our café experienced a devastating flood after a coffee machine hose unexpectedly burst overnight. The water poured through the bar, café, and play space.. and while it caused significant damage, it also revealed something beautiful: just how resilient and supportive this community really is.
So this Sunday, October 14, we’re celebrating the heart of that community the best way we know how... by bringing people together for our Gather & Grow Market. The patio & 65th Street will be full of local makers, fall treats, cozy vibes, and neighbors who have truly shown us what it means to be the village.
Here’s what you need to know 👇
🗓 Sunday, October 14
⏰ 8am – 1pm
📍 Little Village Patio & 65th Street (65th & North)
🎉 Curated Market • Kids Crafts • Patio Bar
🛍 First 75 attendees who RSVP + show up get a FREE tote bag filled with vendor swag & coupons! (They go fast, so come early!)
While our indoor space remains closed for restoration, we’re thrilled to have our outdoor pop-up bar up and running... complete with a limited-edition fall drink menu, grown-up beverages (mimosas & dad brews, yes!), and our signature breakfast sammies to keep you cozy while you shop and play.
Bathrooms will be available for anyone who needs them, but please keep in mind that our café is mid-construction, so it’s not a hangout spot this time around. We promise it’ll be worth the wait once we reopen. 💛
Whether you’re stopping by for a coffee, picking up fall gifts from our amazing line-up of makers, or just want to reconnect with the people who make this neighborhood feel like home, this event is the perfect way to spend your Sunday morning.
