The site can tell you a thing or two more about The Avocado Cafe.
"In the summer of 2015, we decided to find a storefront for our online vintage clothing store," reads the history section of the business' Yelp profile. "Having been baristas around town for several years, we figured we should combine the vintage side with a full gourmet coffee menu.
