Dear valued customers and community members,

We are thrilled to announce that Café Au Lait is undergoing a transformation, and we are excited to introduce you to our new identity: Bad Barista. As the new owner, I am committed to infusing this beloved establishment with my own unique vision while preserving the warm and welcoming atmosphere that has made it a cherished part of our community.

The decision to rebrand and change the name stems from a desire to create a café experience that reflects my personal passion for exceptional coffee and a vibrant community space. Bad Barista represents our commitment to breaking away from traditional norms and embracing a fresh, edgy approach to the art of coffee-making and hospitality.

While our name may be changing, rest assured that the qualities you have come to love about Café Au Lait will remain at the heart of Bad Barista. We will continue to prioritize exceptional quality, ethically-sourced coffee beans, expertly crafted beverages, and a menu that celebrates both classic favorites and exciting new flavors.

Our team of dedicated baristas is eager to provide you with an unforgettable coffee experience that showcases their skills, creativity, and passion. In addition, we will be introducing new offerings, events, and collaborations that reflect the vibrant spirit of our community.

We want to express our gratitude for your continued support throughout this transition. Your loyalty as customers has been the driving force behind our growth, and we look forward to serving you under our new name, Bad Barista. We welcome your feedback and encourage you to join us on this exciting journey.

Message: Update on Minimum Wage Increase and Pricing Adjustments

Dear Valued Customers,

We wanted to inform you about an upcoming change that will affect our pricing structure. As you may be aware, the minimum wage in Alameda is set to increase July 1st 2023. While we believe in fair compensation for our dedicated employees, this increase in labor costs will inevitably impact our operational expenses.

In order to maintain the quality and service standards you have come to expect from us, we will need to make necessary adjustments to our prices. We understand that price changes can be concerning, and we want to assure you that we have carefully considered this decision. Our aim is to strike a balance between providing fair wages to our employees and ensuring affordability for our valued customers.

Please know that we remain committed to delivering excellent products/services and maintaining a high level of customer satisfaction. While prices may be adjusted, we will continue to prioritize the quality, value, and overall experience we provide.

We greatly appreciate your understanding and ongoing support during this transition. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer service team. We value your feedback and are here to assist you in any way we can.

Thank you for your continued trust in our brand.

Best regards,

Somi
Owner
