Calling all Senior Citizens! We would love to serve you, especially this Monday and Friday for our Senior Citizen's Discount!

Looking for Booklovers!

We would love to fill our shop with friends discussing the written word over coffee!

We are beginning the Harry Potter series! Along with this club, we will also be hosting a Saturday morning club to. Please note that you can go between the clubs as it suits your schedule. If you can only make it from time to time, THAT’S OK! If you’ve already read the books and seen the movies and love talking about them….and want to come to club, please do. Audiobook listeners welcome too. Whether you join us for every week of this journey or come and go, we get it. Life is busy, there are commitments and time gets away from you! With this guide you’ll have an idea of where we’ll be each week.

Come when you can and come as you are. This is a welcoming community looking forward to taking this book journey with you!

While you sip your coffee and enjoy a well-earned moment to yourself, your child can set off on an enchanting adventure during Storytime!

Led by Lisa, our shop manager, published author, and former elementary school teacher, each story session is filled with imagination, fun, and a little touch of magic. Lisa brings tales to life in a way that captivates young minds—she knows just how to spark wonder and joy through storytelling.

After the story, kids can enjoy a themed craft activity that lets them bring a piece of the story home with them!

Ideal for children ages 3–8.
We kindly ask that parents or caregivers stay nearby—Storytime is a shared experience, not a drop-off program.

Join us for stories, crafts, and a little everyday magic—only at Storytime with Lisa!

The Leadership Center & Espressions: Coffee & Community are closed on Thursday & Friday to allow our team to enjoy some much needed time with their families and friends. We promise we'll be back, good & rested on Saturday, November 29th for the Aurora Chamber's "Come Home To Christmas". Doors will open at 7:00 a.m.

We'll see you there.'
