About Us
TCB is an inclusive third space, a maker’s market, and a craft coffee bar—built to uplift our community, small businesses, and makers of color. More than just a place to shop or grab a coffee, we’re a space where culture, creativity, and connection thrive.
Our carefully curated maker's market highlights local artists and small brands, giving them a platform to share their craft. Our specialty coffee bar is fueled by intention, serving thoughtfully brewed drinks made with love. And above all, we are a gathering place—a safe, welcoming space where people can come together, spark conversations, and turn strangers into friends.
At TCB, you’re always welcome. Come for the coffee, stay for the connection.
Our Story
TCB was founded by a Lao refugee and an Iranian immigrant with a simple but powerful vision—to create an inclusive and vibrant gathering place where community comes first. We wanted a space where people could connect, shop local, and enjoy a cup of coffee or matcha like they’re meeting up with old friends.
We met once at a market, then a second time for coffee, and decided to "have a shotgun wedding"—jumping headfirst into a business baby and creating the community boutique we wished existed. As makers ourselves, we understood the struggles of pop-up markets—the setup, the hustle, the uncertainty. We wanted to build something better: a space that took the stress out of selling while fostering real connection and support.
​
From brand concept to sleepless nights of work, gutting a 40 year old dry cleaner, it took just six weeks to bring TCB to life. With the help of our community, we officially opened our doors on November 8th, 2024; proving that when people come together, something truly special happens. Thank you to everyone that supported and loved us.
Born from a love of culture, craft, and conversation, TCB is a thoughtfully curated maker’s market, a specialty coffee bar, and a welcoming third space designed to uplift small businesses and makers of color. Whether you’re here to browse, sip, or stay awhile, this space was made for you.
