🤠☕ CELEBRATING 3 YEARS OF COFFEE, COMMUNITY, CULTURE & CONNECTION! ☕🤠

October 28, 2026 marks our 3 year Anniversary of the Community Coffeehouse at the Cortez Cultural Center, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing people together through the arts, culture &community, history & the natural environment of Southwest Colorado . 🤠

What began as the E.R. Lamb Mercantile building in 1909, next occupied by Colorado University McPhee Archeology project has now grown into something truly special — a welcoming space for our local community, visitors and travelers from near and far. Every cup of coffee, every conversation, shared story, and every visit has helped make this journey possible.

This milestone would not be possible without YOU! 🙌

To our amazing volunteers who give their time and hearts, our loyal customers who keep coming back, and our travelers who bring new stories and perspectives through our doors — THANK YOU! You are the heart and soul of our Community Coffeehouse.

☕ But our story doesn’t end at 3 years. We’re looking forward to our future generations!

You can help us build a lasting legacy for future generations by:
❤️ Gathering with us at the Community Coffeehouse
☕ Supporting the Cortez Cultural Center through your visits, contributions, attending programs and events, booking meetings and celebrations
🌱 Making donations to help sustain our mission
💝 Considering a legacy gift that will help preserve this special place for generations to come

Together, we can ensure that the Community Coffeehouse continues to be a place where community thrives, culture is celebrated, history is passed on, friendships grow, and every generation has a place to gather.

3 years behind us. Many years ahead. A legacy we can build together. 💛

Thank you for being part of our story. Here’s to the memories we’ve made, the connections still to come, and the generations who will gather here in the future!
