What a wonderful night we had at Greater Goods Coffee Co! ☕✨

Our members toured the roasting facility, learned the art of cupping, and indulged in the dreamiest cookies from Lyssie Lou’s Cookie Co 🍪🤎

Now we’re counting down the minutes until we see the full photo album from Clik’d Studios 📸

Such a flavorful, feel-good evening with the best community.

👇 Let us know in the comments — what was your favorite part of the night?
