How it started 👉 How it’s going. Me and Bopomofo goes way back (who else had that poster in their childhood room?) I may have failed my Chinese school tests, but I think I learned just enough to make it a name of a cafe 😅.
Yesterday was
@bopomofocafe official 5 yr anniversary and I wanna say thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with us. To still have crowds outside our doors at multiple locations this many yrs in, is truly a blessing.. but it doesn’t happen by luck. I have so many amazing ppl on the Bopo team to acknowledge, from inside the kitchen, behind the bar, in our office.. the shift leads, baristas, cooks, veterans who saw us thru the depths of the pandemic.. Bopo stands because of you.
To
@jungene who has been Bopo’s rock through our biggest hurdles and our light in darkest times, thank you for believing in us.
To
@ewangus my cofounder, Bopo doesn’t exist without you. You shy away from the spotlight yet you shoulder the most. Thank you for everything you’ve sacrificed to allow us to be where we are and where we’re going. I hope I’ve made you proud to be your cofounder.
And finally
@hwuwu . Thank you for giving me strength and balance. Listening to my drama, pushing me forward in troubling times, being patient when I had to be at the cafe instead of at home. I’m sorry for all the additional stress I bring home, but I know it will be worth it. Look, we already have our little boy growing up with this place already existing 🤯
Alright that’s long enough. If you’ve read this far you probably have been reading along over the years of all the ups and downs so I won’t reiterate heh. Thank YOU for being our loyal guests, driving in traffic to us, flying to us, sharing us, and propelling us forward. Here’s to another 5 and more!
