Renovation Update - We're Almost Done! We wanted to get you up to speed on our progress! We should be open by the end of May, no later than the first week of June. As we get closer to our opening date, we wanted to share more sneak peaks with you! We can't wait and are truly excited to be opening up a cafe on Main Street in historic Downtown Garner! Since our last update in February, a lot more finishing work has been completed including window restorations, exterior painting, tile work, carpentry and the like. The major electrical, HVAC...
Here's a sneak peak at our progress! You may have been wondering what's going on at 141 W. Main recently. Well, we are moving forward on many fronts in our revitalization! We have completed the major construction and remodeling of the building. We are now working on the finishing work including flooring, painting, tiling, and installing light fixtures. We also recently poured a solid white concrete countertop for the bar area and installed some cabinets. We thought it was due time to announce the cafe name. The new cafe will be called Full Bloom Coffee & Craft. We will have coffee (of course),...
Well, it's time for an update! Lots has happened since our last post about the building renovation taking place. For starters, we are getting closer to an actual 'opening' date.

Things are really starting to come together, and fast. We had our new roof installed just in time for Hurricane...
So what's been going on since July? Lots has been happening actually! With the recent heat waves and downpours, it has delayed progress a little bit. But now that we have had a few breaks, we can get back to it! Our renovations have really taken off with the addition of some fresh plaster and electrical components. We are also excited to announce that we will be getting a new roof installed very soon. Some original bricks have been given new life and laid into abandoned windows, while some bricks have been discovered! We found out that the entire back side of...
It's been three weeks since we started the cafe remodeling. What have we 'bean' up to? ;-) We are excited to share with you that the interior framing is complete. That's right, things are really starting to take shape! All of the major framework including structural beams, walls, ceilings, bathrooms, a new and improved staircase to the second floor and the coffee bar on the main floor have been framed out. The original staircase (as you can see in the photo to the right) was very steep with short steps. The new staircase is much easier to use and we feel will serve...
