Green Leaf Café – Notice to Customers

Thank you for visiting Green Leaf Café.
We would like to inform our customers that the café will close early this Friday because we will be hosting a private event.

On Friday, the café will close at 4:00 p.m., instead of our usual closing time of 7:00 p.m.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Starting next week, we will also introduce three new menu items:

• Iced Caramel Latte
• Honey Lemon Tea
• Chocolate Banana Muffin

We hope you enjoy our new selections and thank you for your continued support.
