Help Café Diem Get a Coffee Bike
Donation protected
Greetings everyone! My name is Emmett Davenport and I am the owner of Davenport's Café Diem, located in downtown Pittsboro, NC. We have been going strong for almost eight years and we have hit a snag... due to circumstances out of our control, we have to vacate our current location at the end of 2017.
We do have a new space picked out but, the buildout is slow going, which means, we are about to be completely caféless for an indeterminate amount of time, which, makes both my customers and staff folks sad.
BUT! I have a possible solution... an espresso truck .
The initial cost ($65,000) is quite a bit more than the buildout, as it comes fully equipped with everything needed to start brewing coffee, right away. It would allow us to continue providing great coffee to our customers while we wait for our new home. In addition, an espresso truck would allow us to cater events while still remaining open in a brick and mortar location, once it is complete.
Thank you so much to everyone who has lended support to us since 2010, we could not have made this far without each and every one of you.
P.S. For fans of Ursula Vernon's stories from the coffeeshop, do not fear, I promise we will make sure she is properly caffeinated and given plenty of fodder for her twitter feed.
