Thankfully, no one was inside when the flames erupted, but owners Richard Leech and Koryn Hope, who were out of town on vacation, are heartbroken. The cafe, a community hub for staff and regulars, lost everything. Luckily, the blaze didn’t spread far, sparing a neighboring bookshop from major structural damage. Fire investigators are now digging into the cause. As the owners prepare to return Monday, the community rallies behind them, hoping for a rebuild.
