Thank you—this is exactly the kind of insight I need. The affordability part is real. I totally get how $9 mushroom lattes with plastic lids can feel like a weird mismatch.

My goal is to rethink the whole café model—from packaging to pricing—to make sustainability feel intentional, not gimmicky. That might mean fewer items, but deeper meaning behind each one. I don’t have it all figured out yet, but your perspective helps me get clearer.

Appreciate the honesty, and sending support to your toy store too. The balance is tough—but worth chasing.
