Go, friend, go

We know our baristas are all just sharing a part of their journeys with us. It’s the nature of things, just like our cafe friends, people pop in, brighten the space with their ways, and it’s natural that, at some time, some may find new journeys, spaces, finish their studies, move to other cities. We … Read more

A full heart At Closing Time

Another full day here at Bazaar wraps up. Curtains are drawn, biscuit crumbs swept up, time to reset and reflect. It’s been a wave of incredibly affirming and heartfelt shows, events, moments. Just today, Honey Disposition brought their full lineup and rich harmonies as they celebrated a new song release. Marsha, a barista circa 2018, … Read more

We fell in … Read more

We had a fun idea yesterday: perhaps we should find the list of artists who are supported by this royalty organization (it’s invitation only) – and invite them all to … Read more

When will we open on wednesdays?

Some months ago, we closed Bazaar not only on Tuesdays, but ALSO on Wednesdays. Why would we do that?? Well, we needed to make time to fix a few things so we’d have a stronger foundation. As it were, Josh was running 14+ hour days, 6 days a week, and his “rest” day was going … Read more
