Dear Editor,
When I read Ian Tocher’s article about Compassion Café ( The Eatonton Messenger, Oct. 2, C1), I knew I had to visit. When I got there, I knew I had to write about it.
The café offers over 40 different beverages, both hot and cold. Baked goods come from local kitchens like Crusty Cottage, Slice of Heaven, Sugar Creek Bakery, and Peach of Cake.
Seating includes tables and chairs as well as comfy couches. An entire wall displays the works of local artists.
Cindy Lockhart, local mahjong master is available for lessons, and on Fridays at 12:30 for open play.
Shelves are full of locally and made soaps, spices,gift items, and inspirationalbooks.
This delightful café is about more than compassion. It’s about conviviality, conversation, and connecting the community.
Susan Larson Eatonton
