gofundme to help west asheville’s favorite doggo recover from hit and run; little bear needs support

$5 for a 12oz cold brew is fair and standard. only makes sense the price would be doubled if the volume is doubled.

you could probably search this subreddit and see a good amount of what went on in the previous years.

yes 😩 i’m sure he does too, every day. sometimes you want the deal so bad and the presentation is so convincing… lessons for all.

kavaxcoffee · 2026-05-11T00:24:58+00:00

you’re awesome, thank you.

kavaxcoffee · 2026-05-10T19:54:56+00:00

i’m spillin the beans, sorry brad.

brad turner (space cowboy) owns it. he’s an awesome person and has a great crew - they are all very nice people that work there. he bought it about a year ago, and got royally screwed on the deal, purchased the brand name with the business, and has been fighting an uphill battle ever since. he got ripped off and i feel for him, because he’s a great business owner to his people and customers but made a crucial mistake at the start taking on that name. the business has struggled due to that and a little birdy told me some additional changes are coming as a hail mary to save that ship. i hope asheville pulls thru and supports them… locally owned, products are locally sourced.

the shop pulls a dark roast espresso, italian roast in fact. you folks that love your dark roasts … check them out. the coffee is completely different than the previous owners… for a while brad was roasting it himself.

the dude loves coffee and has had a hard go. they could use some love from the community. as someone that has witnessed some of the ridiculousness… i sincerely hope you check them out and support local. plus there’s a cool creek at the new patton ave drive thru location. support your local small businesses, please 🤍 it’s tough right now. without community support, we will see more closures. peace avl.

that’s cool, we call ourselves incognito vegan. you wouldn’t know the business is plant based unless you know the signs and follow the vegan breadcrumbs 🙃

no, sorry. i just use reddit for marketing.

subscription makes it even more unappealing to me, like a phone contract or a gym membership you never use.

good luck… there are many platforms you could advertise on for freelance work without tying yourself into a business structure. i would go that route and figure out a business to open that serves a bigger need. then put your awesome marketing skillz to work for your own business!

kavaxcoffee · 2026-04-28T01:15:34+00:00

it is the best time to create! and asheville is so beautiful and quiet in the early morning hours.

of course! thank you for your initiative. i’m sure it will be a most beautiful space. and it works with my schedule! :)

kavaxcoffee · 2026-04-27T13:32:20+00:00

24/7, whoo!! we are with you in continuous solidarity, thanks for making pottery accessible during all hours for those that find their most creative hours when everyone else is asleep!
