☕️💔 27 YEARS OF COFFEE, COMMUNITY & LOVE… AND NOW WE’RE BEING FORCED OUT.
For 27 years, Santos Coffee House has been more than just a place to grab a cup of coffee.
We’ve been the place where neighbors become friends, where strangers become family, where first dates happen, babies grow up, friendships are made, and countless stories are shared over a simple cup of coffee.
We’ve watched this neighborhood change. We’ve watched families grow. We’ve laughed with you, cried with you, celebrated your milestones, and been there through life’s hardest moments.
Santos isn’t just a coffee shop. It’s the HEART of our neighborhood. ❤️
And now, after 27 years, we’re being told we have to leave.
Our landlord has decided not to renew our lease, and despite our willingness to negotiate without even getting a chance to negotiate we are facing the heartbreaking reality of losing the place we’ve poured our hearts, souls, and livelihoods into.
Why? We’ve been told the plan is to expand the hair salon next door into the space Santos has called home for nearly three decades.
We understand that businesses grow and things change. But it’s incredibly painful to think that a thriving, beloved neighborhood coffee shop, with 27 years of history and deep community roots, could disappear to make room for an expansion.
This isn’t just about losing a business.
It’s about losing a piece of our community. A place where everyone is welcome, where the coffee is hot, the conversations are real, and the people behind the counter know your name.
It’s about the employees who have become family, the regulars who have become lifelong friends, and the generations of neighbors who have made Santos what it is today.
We don’t want to leave. And we aren’t ready to give up.
We believe that neighborhoods need places like Santos. Places with history. Places with heart. Places that remind us that community still matters.
And right now, we need OUR community more than ever.
📣 PLEASE STAND WITH SANTOS!
❤️ COMMUNITY RALLY
📍 32nd & Thorn Street, North Park
🗓️ This Saturday, November 14th
⏰ 9:00 AM
Bring your signs, bring your friends, bring your neighbors, and most importantly, bring your love for this little coffee shop that has meant so much to so many.
Let’s remind everyone that a neighborhood is more than buildings and rent checks. It’s the PEOPLE who give it life.
To every person who has walked through our doors over the last 27 years: THANK YOU. You are the reason Santos is so special, and you are the reason we’re still fighting.
27 years of memories shouldn’t end with a notice to leave.
We aren’t asking for a handout. We’re asking for a chance to stay.
Please SHARE this post, spread the word, and help us show just how much Santos means to North Park.
Santos is more than coffee. Santos is HOME. ❤️☕️
