(October 2025 Update)

Today marked another big step for Adventure Café. I met with friends to talk through the project — bringing along the business plan, the numbers, and the vision that’s been growing steadily over the past months.

We discussed ways of moving forward and toured two potential sites. Each space had its own feel, but both reminded me why this project matters: creating a place where people can slow down, connect, and belong.

The next steps will focus on refining the business plan and adjusting the numbers based on what we learned. I’m also officially pivoting from a nonprofit framework to a community-oriented, sustainable business — one that blends purpose with practicality.

To help move the project into its next phase, I’ve started a GoFundMe campaign to raise the funds needed to secure a location, make improvements, and get Adventure Café ready to open its doors. The campaign page shares more about the story, the mission, and how every contribution brings us closer to opening a café built on trust, kindness, and creativity.

If you’d like to support or simply read more, you can visit the campaign here:

As part of this new chapter, I’ve also added a Wall of Trust to the website — a place for anyone to sign their name or leave a few words of encouragement. Every message adds another brick to the foundation we’re building together.

Adventure Café is becoming real — one conversation, one idea, one act of trust at a time.
