Big Bear Cafe, a restaurant in Washington, DC, is raising funds on SMBX. It operates as a coffeehouse, bakery, and wood-oven kitchen out of an old brick Victorian bodega surrounded by grapevines, herb gardens, and flowering trees. It is a perfect setting for a morning cup of coffee, afternoon lunch with friends, or a fire-lit evening dinner. Stuart Davenport founded Big Bear Cafe in 2006. The current crowdfunding round has a minimum target of $50,000 and a maximum target of $100,000, and the funds will be used for general kitchen improvements, public access to pizza oven, new equipment, and working capital. Big Bear Cafe sources its ingredients from the local farms and has grown collaboratively in the past several years.
