L & A....
Also wanted to note...for anyone we haven't thanked personally, we are working on it. We are running the campaign, which is a full time job, working on the side to a bit in our friend's studio, working bikeCOFFEE (this Saturday at Brew Durham, then Sunday at Motoroco and DtownMarket, then the eve at the Pinhook for Pie Pushers' birthday bash. And we are actually doing the work of starting the shop. We had a productive meeting with Joe and Andy at Belk Architecture this morning. We're moving and shaking -- we will get to thank each and every one of you. For now, please know how incredibly appreciative of you helping us so much to make Cocoa Cinnamon happen! Leon and Areli
Creator Chris James Lorch on March 30, 2012
Met Areli and Leon outside a concert at their bikeCOFFEE stand. Really inspired by their locally-minded and entrepreneurial spirit. There's a palpable glue that's beginning to stick Durham together and it will be great to have some chocolate and spice to add in that mix. Congrats for meeting the goal and keep it going!

I am so excited to see this project get successfully backed, and glad that I finally had a moment to back it myself!
I sincerely hope that the money keeps rolling in so that Cocoa Cinnamon can be the kind of center for community (and of course coffee and chocolate) that it seems like it could be.
If I'm ever out that way you can bet I'll be swinging by! :-) :-)

Creator Johanna Fontana on March 19, 2012
Just wanted to say, how proud I am of both of you,your both so inspiring, full of life,and full of love.I use to question Grandma and say,how can you give away your last dollar and she would say when you help people it will come back to you.It feels good to give.By the way Uncle Joe pledged you $50 ,and wishes you both the best.I cant come up with an answer for who's cocoa and who's cinnamon.I believe cocoa is the strength and cinnamon is the sweetness and that stands for both of you.Well anyway so much for a short comment. Have a great day. Love You both ,Mom
