A local cafe with an emphasis on spirituality and artistic endeavors celebrated its grand opening in Eisenhower East over the weekend.
Good Spirit Cafe held a ribbon cutting during the second annual Eisenhower Block Party at 2361 Eisenhower Avenue on Saturday (June 6), commemorating its new presence in the neighborhood over the past few months.
Founded by Kahana Samms, the cafe serves up custom smoothies, matcha, espresso drinks, “mocktails” and other refreshments, alongside a selection of sandwiches, baked goods and wellness-related retail items.
Good Spirit Cafe also hosts events centered around creativity and wellness, including open mic nights, yoga classes and reflection workshops.
“Over the next few weeks, our space will be filled with music, movement, healing, creativity, conversation, wellness, and community,” the business said on Instagram. “This is exactly what we envisioned when we created Good Spirit — a space where people can gather, connect, express themselves, and pour back into themselves and each other.”
Planned events for the coming week include a Candlelight Yin Yoga session with Zen & The Bull Wellness on June 15, a “somatic movement experience” with Building a Bridge of Hope on June 16 and “Building A Village,” a conversation about men’s wellness and fatherhood with the Just My Baby Daddy Podcast, on June 18.
Samms, a self-funded entrepreneur, told The Zebra in April that her dreams of opening a cafe came to fruition after her experience being furloughed from a government job.
“After brainstorming the idea of opening a convenience store, it dawned on me that this was the right time for me to bring my dream to life,” she told The Zebra.
Good Spirit Cafe is open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., Wednesday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and noon to 6 p.m. Sunday.
