Café Indigo welcomes the Welcome sign
 


About This Photo


For 15 years, ending on May 31, 2019, this space was Dewey's Coffee, run by Dewey Forward. For many it was the heart of Shaker Square.

In 2018, when much was being said in fear of strangers, Dewey put a sign in the window for all to see. In Spanish, English and Arabic it said

    No matter where you are from,
    we're glad you're our neighbor
.


Melissa Garrett-Hirsch hopes for her Café Indigo to be a place where all will feel welcome. She was glad to accept Dewey's offer of a Welcome sign.

This picture of Melissa and Dewey with the sign was taken January 17, 2025, before Café Indigo opened.
