Hi Cafe 126 Followers and Fans!! Early in the week the Cafe 126 page was hacked along with my personal page. The person uploaded a very inappropriate video that initially made it out to the public before Facebook caught it and deleted it. ๐Ÿ˜ก
Facebook took the Facebook accounts down until they realized it was not myself or Cafe 126 that posted this video. Itโ€™s was an exhausting process and I still do not have the Cafe 126 Instagram approved to be back up yet ๐Ÿ˜•
My apologies for anyone that had to see this particular post and it is amazing how people feel they need to do this for what ever reason.
As always, thank you for all your support to our little cafe and the success we have thanks to that support ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿปโ˜บ๏ธ
