The
first
time
I
stepped
through
the
doors
of
Peace
&
Cake
I
was
homesick
and
sad.
New
in
town,
I
had
very
few
friends,
so
I
took
myself
up
to
the
cafe
on
the
hill
in
hopes
of
familiar
food.
Not
only
did
I
get
the
best
sandwich
of
my
life,
and
a
pumpkin
spice
latte,
but
I
got
friendly
faces
and
conversation.
In
those
early
days
of
life
in
a
foreign
country,
Peace
&
Cale
felt
like
a
balm
to
my
soul.
It
was
and
still
is
a
place
where
people
know
me,
where
they
remember
to
ask
how
work
is
going,
where
they
notice
when
I’m
not
around.
The
food
is
the
best
in
Nicaragua
-
I
don’t
think
anyone
would
argue
that
-
but
the
atmosphere
is
even
better.
Peace
&
Cake
feels
like
a
warm
hug
when
life
is
difficult,
and
it
feels
like
a
full
on
celebration
when
life
is
good.
The
women
who
run
this
place
are
kind,
fierce,
funny,
and
warm.
They
know
how
to
heal
you
with
good
food
and
good
vibes,
and
they
never
judge
you
if
you
order
the
same
exact
thing
100
times.
And
if
you’re
very
lucky,
they’ll
slip
you
an
extra
cookie
for
your
birthday
or
a
long
trip
back
to
the
States.
I
can’t
stress
enough
how
good
the
food
is.
It’s
beyond
worth
the
price
for
the
high
quality
and
care
that
goes
into
making
every
dish,
drink,
and
dessert.
I’ve
never
had
anything
less
than
perfect
there.
But
the
atmosphere
really
does
it
for
me.
It’s
a
place
where
everyone
feels
welcome,
the
service
is
top
notch,
and
the
people
become
like
family
if
you
stick
around
long
enough.
I
wish
I
could
accurately
convey
how
grateful
I
am
for
this
little
sanctuary.
Nat,
Jenny,
Lola,
Olivia,
and
all
the
other
women
who
work
so
hard
to
keep
this
place
going
should
be
very
proud.
They
really
do
make
a
difference
in
our
little
community.
PS:
Try
the
carrot
cake,
even
if
you
think
you
don’t
like
carrot
cake
-
you
can
thank
me
later.
