Backstory Cafe goals: --A coffee/tea house and cafe--we will serve fresh pastries, homemade soups, sandwiches, slow-filtered micro-roasted coffee, loose-leaf teas, and fresh-squeezed juice and lemonade.
--A resource center and infoshop--we will provide a meeting place for local non-profit initiatives, neighborhood-based projects, and individuals. We will facilitate the archiving and presentation of promotional materials that will allow a broader audience to access local, social service, cultural, and educational initiatives thereby promoting more actively involved citizenship at every age and demographic. Backstory aims to support individuals or groups that wish to reclaim control over the events that shape their lives. We will be a source for independent media, live music, literary readings, round-table discussions and more...
--A bookshop--we will carry related titles in collaboration with Powell's bookstore.
