Weekend Recap! Here are some images from our zine workshop at Moira, this past Saturday. We discussed the origins, history, politics and community building aspects of zine-making. By exploring many mediums such as collage, writing and drawing, each of us tried to peice together a zine that explored the role grief plays in our lives. Thanks to all that attended! And to Drill Press Cafe at for hosting us on this afternoon. Lots of coffees were drunk. Lots of friends were made. Lots of ideas were born! (PS - we only cut up and collage with books that could use some rethinking)

Kicking off the season and opening the backyard with our .

with filmmaker Paul Mclay .mclay. Watched the OG classic - Casablanca. The original release of the movie happened in 1943 during the Second World War. Was amazing to discuss the movie from various angles and realising it was so ahead of its time and still is so relevant. Thanks Luke for making this happen along with Paul ❤️

A little story about the our !

Back in January 2021, we chanced upon meeting the amazing folks at . At the time the idea of starting a cafe was just brewing in our heads and when we met Smita and Anirudh and tasted their amazing collection we knew its time to kick this idea off the ground.

If you do know the story of Baba Budan, here it is.

Baba Budan was a 16th-century Sufi, revered by both Muslims and Hindus, whose shrine is at Baba Budangiri, Chikkamagalur, Karnataka, India. He is said to have introduced the coffee plant to India by bringing seven raw beans from the port of Mocha, Yemen while coming back from Hajj. In those days coffee was exported to other parts of the world in roasted or baked form so that no one could grow their own and were forced to buy from the Yemenis. He brought seven beans because the number 7 is considered sacred in Islam. The coffee plants were then raised at the place that bears his name.

Popular Indian lore says that on a pilgrimage to Mecca in the 16th century Baba Budan, a revered Sufi saint from Karnataka state, discovered for himself the wonders of coffee. In his eagerness to grow coffee himself at home, he smuggled seven coffee beans out of the Yemeni port of Mocha which were hidden in his beard . On his return home, he planted the beans on the slopes of the Chandragiri Hills in Chikkamagaluru district, Mysore State (present day Karnataka). This hill range was later named after him as the Baba Budan Hills (Baba Budangiri), where his tomb can be visited by taking a short trip from Chikmagalur.

The amazing recreated this story on the walls of when we started!

So drop in for your cup of coffee!
