We found a way to reopen in February that you are going to love! As most of you are aware, Mission BBQ Kenosha is extremely active with the veteran community, and we are proud that they chose the Bunker Coffeehouse for Veterans as a spot to show it (yet again)!

If you haven’t been to the coffee house yet, we think you are in for a surprise at what a great meeting spot we are. We hope to see you there at Noon on February 9th for some great food and camaraderie.
