It's our goal to be a space for our community and we hold many types of events in our space with that in mind! If you have ideas for a public event, questions about a private event, or anything related please reach out to us directly.
Saturday 9/26
Swing by Barista’s Bouquet in Urbandale on Saturday, September 26th with your gently used books. Whether it's your favorite book that you can't wait to share or a few treasures that's been hogging your shelf space. Bring one (or a whole stack), and snag a new to you book to take home. Any kind of book is welcome—even children's books! If there are any stragglers left after our event, they'll be happily donated to a public library!
Sunday 10/4 at 1pm
Join us for a laid-back, feel-good afternoon creating your own beautiful fall door hanger—filled with sunflowers, hydrangeas, and all the soft, textural touches that make the season feel so inviting.
We'll be using high-quality faux florals, so your piece will stay looking full and gorgeous all the way through October and November (and honestly… probably longer because you won't want to take it down).
This class is all about slowing down and enjoying the process. I'll be there every step of the way to guide you, offer ideas, and help bring your vision to life—but there's no pressure here. Just space to play, create, and make something that feels like *you*.
-🗓 October 4th
-⏰ 1:00 PM
-💲 $40 per person
Bring a friend or come solo and settle into a little creative escape—you'll
leave with something beautiful for your door and probably wondering why you
don't do this more often.

Sunday 10/11 1:30pm - 3:30pm
Welcome to SHHHHHH Book Club — a cozy, quiet escape for book lovers, introverts, and anyone who enjoys being *alone… together*.
Join us from 1:30-3:30PM for a low-pressure, come-as-you-are kind of afternoon. We'll start with 30 minutes to grab a drink, casually mingle (or politely avoid eye contact), and find your perfect reading spot. Then we settle in for one full hour of uninterrupted reading time — no discussions, no forced sharing, just you and your book in peaceful silence.
For the final 30 minutes, you're welcome to keep reading, chat with fellow
like-minded introverts, or quietly browse the shop — socializing optional,
of course.
☕ Coffee, tea, and house-made baked goods will be available for purchase.
Come solo, bring a friend, or sit near someone you'll quite possibly never
speak to 😋 but deeply relate to. Either way — you're in the right place.
