Cauldron Collective and Turnsol Books & Coffee have teamed up to bring something new to the KC Metro: a worker-owned bookstore cafe.
The new spot will be located at 1664 Broadway Blvd., KCMO, next door to Stray Cat Films.
About the two businesses
Cauldron Collective is a worker-owned pop-up food concept founded in 2021. It started when a group of service workers decided to redesign the restaurant model.
Turnsol Books & Coffee began as an independent publisher. Former employees of a local book + record shop influenced the publisher to become a bookstore centering on good books and building community.
What to expect
Here’s what you can expect at the new bookstore cafe:
- An eclectic selection of books
- Coffee and vegan food
- Concerts
- Art nights
- Pop-ups
- Readings
Journey to a bookstore cafe
The two local businesses have secured some investor funding and now seek community donations to help bring the concept to life. If you’re interested in supporting, you can donate to its Go Fund Me campaign.
