Re-Opening Safely
We're prioritizing the safety of our customers, our staff, and the wider community.
We've thought about how to re-open as safely as possible while continuing to offer incredible coffee and food.
We're utilizing our outdoor areas for service and reduced seating, with plexiglass dividers to ensure contactless interactions between staff and customers.
We've also implemented additional cleaning and sanitizing.
We've included a detailed list below of all of the things we’re doing to keep safe.
Staying Home
We want you to be here...but we’d ask you not to be if you’ve been in contact with someone who has tested positive or if you have a fever or COVID-19 symptoms. We'll see you in 14 days.
We also require any staff to stay home if they experience any symptoms or have reason to believe they’ve been exposed to the virus, and we’re offering paid sick leave to our folks to ensure they’re able to stay home without worry.
Masks
Wearing masks has been shown to dramatically reduce the spread of SARS-CoV2 and are recommended by the CDC anytime you're out in public around people.
We believe masks protect Patikans, who are here for many hours during the day.
We have some cute masks for sale, and are happy to provide single-use masks while you wait for your order.
