Hi there! My name is Celeste Olivo and I am the owner of The Cozy Cup, a modern tea shop and event space located in Mount Vernon, NY. We hope that with your help we can make The Cozy Cup the first Latina-owned sit-down tea shop in Mount Vernon, NY! We are targeting a Fall 2023 open date, and we hope to see you there!
Our Mission:
Our Mission is to create a cozy and inviting space in which tea, coffee, delicious bites, and great company take center stage. Creating an amazing experience is what we strive for. We want our customers to celebrate birthdays, bridal showers, and even first dates at our shop, and in the future think back to these events with warmth and nostalgia. We're looking forward to opening our space to the community for workshops and empowerment events, in which local entrepreneurs and artists can connect with each other and with the community. Being that water is the main ingredient in making a delicious cup of tea or coffee, we plan on donating a portion of our profits to charity organizations that provide access to clean drinking water in areas where access to water is a challenge.
What We Need:
As you can probably imagine, it isn’t cheap to open up the doors of a tea/coffee shop. We are asking for $6,000.
Here are the areas that your contribution will support:
Tea/Coffee Bar Equipment
Kitchen Equipment
Cups, Plates, Utensils
Permits & Fees
Initial Inventory
What You Get:
Depending your your donation amount, we offer different perk levels:
$20 Donation = Free Drink
$50 Donation = "Tea Time" t-shirt
$100 Donation = "Late Night, Good Book, Warm Tea" sweatshirt in black or olive
$500 Donation = Exclusive afternoon tea party for you and 9 friends!
Other Ways You Can Help:
If you cannot donate at this time, there is totally no pressure! A great alternative way to help is by sharing this link and our story on your social media. :)
Thank you so much for your support and belief in The Cozy Cup's mission. Your generosity means everything to us!
