Successful Pop-Up ‘Mix Cafe’ Looking To Open Permanently In Port Morris

Earlier this year in April, The Mix Up Cafe opened up as a pop-up cafe for 3 days.

Earlier this year in April we got a taste of an awesome pop-up cafe called the Mix Cafe and for three glorious days we had a spot to chill, relax and have a hot chocolate or some good coffee served with a side of great conversations with out neighbors. Now the Daily News is reporting that the cafe is looking to raise the necessary capital to make it a permanent fixture in the neighborhood.

When we were there in April, the 3 day event was part of a social experiment, “to engage the community and talk about race and identity — over a cup of coffee.”

Read the rest over at the New York Daily News:

Mott Haven java joint The Mix Cafe seeks cash jolt to build steam: The Mix Cafe is set to take over a Lincoln Avenue storefront from art gallery The Shoppe. Locals are invited to chip in to help fund the coffee shop.
