Daniel Kung | Cafe Owner

We are constantly looking for ways to be involved. Starting with something as simple as a community board in the cafe, we also prominently display art from local artists on our walls, host pop-up events for local craft artisans or bakers, host community tastings for people interested in learning more about food and beverages they may not usually seek such as Matcha, Thai Teas, etc. We also support the local Murphy and Wylie school systems by sponsoring academic and athletic clubs throughout the year.
