On July 22, 2002, “two old hippies,” possessing a dream and not much more than a dime, started a coffeeshop business in Uptown Utica.
It was to offer a feast for tongue, eyes, ears and imaginations, an inclusive, urban place where strangers could become friends face-to-face, a space for the artist and the dreamer in everyone. They created a community and left a legend.
Come and hear them talk about the origins of the Cafe, its major influences, the passion that inspired two teachers to start a business at mid-life!
