Invest in The Witch’s Cottage

*UPDATE: WE HAVE ACQUIRED OUR DREAM BUILDING!

PLEASE GO THROUGH THE UPDATED PITCH DECK FOR BONUS SLIDES FROM OUR INTERIOR DESIGNER THAT WERE JUST APPROVED BY OWNERSHIP!!!

Take a second to imagine walking in the woods and finding a witch's cottage. You enter and she has plants hanging from the ceiling and the smell of fresh baked treats floating in the air. She gives you a drink of choice- whether it is a cup of tea with magical intention or a stronger potion to level your nerves. Then imagine a bard playing in the corner or a troupe of artists walking through. Now just think of a window seat that is constructed like a tree, where you can read and drink your tea to your hearts content.

At the heart of our vision is a place where community, creativity, and connection converge—an immersive space that goes beyond just food and drinks. We’re creating a sanctuary for dreamers, artists, and makers—a “third place” where everyone belongs. A third place is more than a café or bar or a restaurant; it’s a gathering spot that isn’t home and isn’t work, but is a place where people feel seen, inspired, and part of something greater. It’s where conversations flow, art comes to life, and ideas are sparked. Our mission is to cultivate this space, where creativity thrives, local talent is celebrated, and every corner invites connection.

For over a decade, we’ve dreamed of bringing this vision to life. Both of us have years of experience in hospitality, live events, and community-building, and finally sat down in January of 2024 to take the ultimate leap. Together, we’ve poured our hearts into creating a vision that not only serves the community, but uplifts it—where people can come together, share a meal, enjoy live performances, and explore their creativity through workshops, art, and so much more.

Now, we have the rare opportunity to turn this dream into reality AFTER HAVING OFFICIALLY SECURED an exceptional historical building in the heart of the North Hollywood Arts District. This location is more than just a building—it’s the ideal canvas for everything we’ve envisioned. Its expansive layout, architectural charm, and prime location make it the perfect place for our community-focused, immersive space. This building isn’t just where our dream could live—it’s the very foundation we need to create a true “third place” for our neighborhood.

The opportunity is as exciting as it is rare. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build something meaningful in a space that perfectly aligns with the needs of our multifaceted communities. We know that this place has the potential to become the heart of the neighborhood, a vibrant, magical space where people come to connect, create, and belong. We have had the keys to this building as of March 20th, 2025. We are in the process of deep cleaning, servicing equipment, clearing out, prepping for decorating and design, and so much more! There is a long road ahead, and we need capital to be able to open by August! Please take a look at the gorgeous pitch deck and designs herein.

*Previously a disclaimer was listed here because we had not acquired the building yet, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED AND WE HAVE IT! We are so excited.

We are ready to seize this moment, but we need your support to make it a reality. Together, we can transform this building into a thriving, inclusive space—a true third place for all.

For a detailed breakdown of our plans, vision, and everything you need to know—from the building to the aesthetic, food concepts, and long-term planning—please see the pitch deck located beneath this section. We’re excited to share all of the details with you and hope you’ll join us in making this dream come true.

This is our story, and this opportunity could be the beginning of something truly extraordinary. Will you join us in making it happen?
