SUMMARY:Cat Nap Coffee Roasting Latte + Art Throwdown
DESCRIPTION:Join Cat Nap Coffee Roasting for our first latte + art throwdown in our cafe space. Yes\, latte and art. Not latte art. We don’t do latte art.

All weekend long you can grab any Cat Nap latte (including chai and matcha) plus an art pack from Art Hive for $10 and be entered to win a prize pack from both stores. \nYou’re welcome to sit in the cafe or out on the patio or over at art Hive and sip and create. Or you can take your drink and crafts to the park and be inspired by the art all around you. Or craft from the comfort of your own home!
