Original post made on Sep 29, 2018

Thank you for writing such an excellent article about this amazing mother-daughter duo. Cafe Zoe has done so much for so many. We are all so lucky to have Kathleen and Zoe as community members.

Cafe Zoe has become a cornerstone of the Willows and a hub for gatherings of everyone from families with young kids, to political meetings to trivia buffs. Thanks for having such a great place to hang out and enjoy a good cup of coffee and a bite to eat.

And let's not forget the good coffee and tea drinks, the pastries and lunches and smoothies and ice cream and evening wine and beer that come with all the love.

Cafe Zoe serves the community in many ways, and calls all of us who go there to love each other and the world more deeply. It is a treasure.

My name is Patty and I am a singer with a great band, that plays at Cafe Zoe.
Any musician will tell you, few clubs/restaurants/establishments treat us as nicely as Cafe Zoe. They are so supportive of live music in the community, and not many places, unfortunately, are that way.
We are proud to be a part of the music there, they are wonderful and do so much for the community, and today, that is what it should be all about.
Cafe Zoe, we love you!
The Half Moon Band

Not kidding...

I loved this article and seeing the photo of Kathleen and Zoe. It captures so much beautiful resonance Cafe Zoe emobodies. It is an awesome cafe, business and community hub. I value the treasure in our local neighborhood and all you offer so many through your business, community engagements and generosity helping so many.
