Hey everyone! 👋
Welcome to the first Creative Chem Co. newsletter; we’re so excited you’re here.
Since we opened our doors in December, we’ve had a LOT of huge developments (and, let’s face it, lessons learned).
One thing that’s very important to us here is keeping connected to our community.
In the last month, we hosted a very successful movie night (featuring the one and only Big Lebowski), a networking event from a local organization, and even a photoshoot from a matcha pop-up you might recognize!
We want to emphasize that this is just the tip of the iceberg for us. We’re ecstatic to be home to even more creativity-oriented, caffeine-fueled experiences in Bloomfield.
But, for today’s newsletter, here’s what you can expect:

If there’s something you’d like to see more of in this newsletter, feel free to respond and let us know. Like any true creative, we are constantly experimenting with new things.
Without further ado, let’s get into the good stuff:

Staff Spotlight:
Meet Anna: An Awesome Barista
Her wrestling entrance song: “Faceshopping” by Sophie
Go-To Shift Drink:
“As any hot girl does, I have tummy issues, so my go-to is a cup or two of drip coffee, but I will sometimes treat myself to my most favorite, an iced lavender latte with oat milk and an extra shot.”
Last Thing She Created:
“Valentine’s Day is my most favorite holiday, so I have been continuing my tradition of crocheting little hearts to give to people as valentines and have been cranking those out. And I like to think that any mess-ups just add charm!”
Want to meet Anna IRL? She’s usually behind the bar slinging coffees, and she’s very friendly, so be sure to swing by and say hey.
Fair warning: she also runs our TikTok, so she might put you to work!

And that's a wrap on newsletter #1. Did we do it right? Who knows. But you're here, we're here, and that's what matters.
Swing by the space soon; we miss your face. Or come meet us for the first time. Either way, the coffee's hot and the vibes are immaculate.
