Introducing our baristas Ash & Katie.

Katie is a sophomore at Missouri State University, studying statistics and love spending time outdoors, especially swimming and water skiing. She is looking forward to sharing the art of coffee with everyone.

Ash is currently studying to become an American Sign Language interpreter and is passionate about helping people connect and communicate. They love being outdoors, spending time around animals, and finding joy in the little things, especially bugs, which they think are endlessly fascinating. Ash brings a friendly, curious, and compassionate perspective to both their studies and everyday life, and they value creating spaces where people feel understood and included.

We could not be happier to have Ptera Jewelry here at Elysian Gallery + Cafe. Ptera was born out of Jennifer's belief that one is never too old to embrace their inner princess.

"You're never too old or too "grown up" to be a princess.
For a long time, I focused on growing up and missed out on embracing the parts of myself that truly mattered.
You're never too old to put flowers in your hair and you're never too old to play dress up with all the jewels you could wish for. That's why I created Ptera - a brand that blends femininity and elegance with a playful, nostalgic touch, inspired by fairytales and the magic of happily ever afters."

For all our friends who love the Broadway shopping district, Honeybee Vintage has new hours.

NEW HOURS! Beginning this week, we will be closed Tuesdays and will open a bit later at 10am on weekdays.

BUT…beginning June 11, we will have late hours *EVERY Thursday until 8pm* to better serve customers who work during the week, or who want to leave kids at home for a relaxing evening out. This also coincides with the Night Market in the summer sponsored by Alton Main Street.

Let’s see how this goes! Mark your calendar for Thursdays, bring a friend, and share online. Please and thank you. 😍
