ROCKING A SHIRT
Cafe Coco shirt + jeans = today’s outfit.
It tickles me to wear a shirt with memories — my memories, not the shirt’s. And I remember Cafe Coco. My dear friend and former co-worker got me this shirt so I would remember all the good times we shared there! Keeping up, catching up, taking breaks, celebrating birthdays, and enjoying our lives and our times.

Cafe Coco is open 24 hours Thursday — Saturday; 7:00 a.m. — midnight, the rest of the week. There was a time when it was 24/7, and it was the only place in town to go after we had closed down every other place in town. It is a cafe, after all; there are special menu items and special drink items and a special dessert cooler case. All kindsa coffee, all kindsa tea, very varied lattes, and soft drinks.
It is the shows in the back room that make Cafe Coco so special to me. I cannot even begin to list off the artists, bands, screenings, and celebrations that I have seen in the Back Stage at Cafe Coco. Thanks to Cody Joe Bottoms, this has been a welcoming place for all kinds of music and all kinds of fans; everything from soul to hip-hop, animation to writers’ nights, and everything in between. Sometimes, we couldn’t go anywhere else.
