Groovy Brew
Groovy Brew is back for our 5th year, serving up endless toasty coffee to fuel your mornings! We're a camp of creative chaos where anything goes—from singalongs to dance lessons, pre-party stretches, shibari workshops, mashed potatoes, and face painting. Our members dream it up, and we make it happen! Catch our pop-up bar events, including a nostalgia-filled emo rager, and if a rainstorm happens we're prepared for a party! Come for the coffee, stay for the vibes!
