Julie named the cafe after her daughter, Lukaya. Inside, rare teas, mismatched cups, books, plants, a piano and Tuesday music fill the room.
Start at the tea shelves
Customers remember the large collection of rare and loose-leaf teas. Friends show each other the canisters, and Julie helps people choose from flavours they already know.
A room people use in different ways
Some people stop for espresso or drip coffee. Others bring a book, work on Wi-Fi, meet a friend, share a first date or pull up near the counter for conversation.
Tuesday open mic
Every Tuesday evening, Brennagh Burns hosts open mic from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Musicians and poets perform while customers order at the same counter used during the day.
