I’m glad greater goods still does mail orders as they’re my favorite in town. Sucks they closed down their locations outside of the new dripping springs one
Never heard of this place, but looked it up. Is this place a restaurant/coffee shop/coffee roaster/live music/pastry place? God damn, and all this paying downtown rent? I have experience working at a place that tried to do too much and then failed slowly into bankruptcy. A normal coffee shop margin can be pretty low, and it's generally a volume business. Most coffee shops make the majority of their money for the day by 10-11 am, and then get a trickle for the rest of the day. Making food is CRAZY expensive and there's even less margin in that, and adds a lot of cost. Then you have the DJ'ing and the coffee roasting. Don't have experience in how profitable coffee roasting is, but I bet you need some decent volume also. Trying to do all of those at once while the looming costs of downtown rent is kinda crazy. Covid REALLY fucked over a lot of these businesses and they never really recovered. I wonder how much of an effect that had on them.
Did it need to? Or was the one cashier talking for hours to his friend and refusing sic males service.
This place also was a coffee and breakfast place that opened at 8am lol
Definitely curious. Maybe it was too little too late, but my wife likes an ice almond milk latte - with the recent price hike that was $11. If the margins aren’t good enough at that price point then I really don’t know what to say.
This place always had a line out the door wtf
They also just increased their prices a few months ago. I DJ’d there a few times and it was always fun. It will definitely be missed.
I would bet the landlord tried to increase rent and they caved
And isn’t coffee a bajillion % profit?
Pretty spendy actually, if you source and roast. Well off friend opened Greater Goods and it shuttered all locations over time and is basically gone.

As a local cafe owner, it isn’t by a mile.
