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.

Instead of your name, you were asked, “What are you?” as part of the social experiment on race and identity.

For 3 days customers kept coming and coming.

Some of the offerings the pop-up had back in April.
