MLK Day Brunch in Atlanta to Rebuild California Coffee Shop Destroyed By Fire | Eater Atlanta

"A Black and female-owned small business opened in 1955 with Georgia roots—owner and chef Barbara Shay’s family is from Coweta County, Georgia—and has been in her family for generations. Destroyed by the Eaton Fire in Altadena, the longtime neighborhood favorite for coffee and breakfast is part of a tight-knit community now left largely unrecognizable, with many local restaurants impacted. On Instagram patrons wrote: “Been eating [at the coffee shop] with my fam since I was a kid ... we will rebuild!” and “Hands down, the best vibes and food in LA. Praying for all of you,”. A GoFundMe campaign has raised more than $36,000 toward a $125,000 goal for the rebuild, and community benefit efforts such as the MLK Day brunch are directing proceeds to recovery." - Henna Bakshi
