My beloved @kaleighhh.bsky.social is a total badass & making things happen. The grand opening of @thecommonscafe.bsky.social is tomorrow! Drop by 231 E Swanson Ave, Ste. 24 in Wasilla from 9am-4pm & celebrate a new inclusive space in the valley! Slow down & connect w/ your community. #alaskasky

Y'all, I can't even begin to tell you how fantastic @thecommonscafe.bsky.social is. I honestly wish I could have spent the whole day there. In fact, I just might end up playing hooky during the week to hang out, drink absolutely delicious beverages, & read. #alaskasky #communitycafe

Out in the valley & stopped in at The Commons Cafe for a yummy little drink. I would just live here if I could. 💖 If you haven't gone in yet, you absolutely should. @thecommonscafe.bsky.social And check out the zine library. 😜 @redcurrentdistro.com #alaskasky

Had a great (if a big damp) day at the Umoja Pride Block Party! Shared a tent w/ Drag For a Cause & my kiddo's art business which was a lot of fun. Yes, it rained the whole time but it didn't keep us from sharing in queer joy & community! @redcurrentdistro.com #alaskasky

THE ANNOUNCEMENT YOU ALL HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR! The Commons Café has officially found a home! We'll be settling into 231 Swanson Ave, Suite 24, right in the heart of Wasilla, overlooking beautiful Nunley Park. Our space is small and cozy-just like our town-and we wouldn't have it any other way.

Big moves are happening at The Commons Cafe! Our letter of intent has been received, and work is already underway to reshape the space-literally. Some walls are coming down, things are shifting, and we're laying the groundwork for what's to come.

What is our vision? To create a community hub where people gather, relax, and feel a sense of belonging, all while enjoying high-quality coffee and art in an enchanting, rustic environment. We aim to establish The Commons Cafe as the go-to space for locals to meet, create, and connect.

Big moves for The Commons Cafe: our espresso machine has arrived. This La Marzocco beast will be the backbone of some exceptional coffee once we’re up and running. The next step? Securing the perfect spot to bring it all together. We’re making it happen—stay tuned. Location announcement coming soon.
