As a person who absolutely loves both books and ice cream, I enjoyed this essay! And congrats on your persistence and discovery along your journey. My favorite part: "The bookstore taught me how to create a space for connection through books. Ice cream is teaching me how to create that same sense of connection in a different form, one that’s immediate, sensory, but still rooted in a similar kind of pleasure."
I’m hoping to open a bookstore cafe and I find this very inspiring. Hope to check out your store whenever i next get to visit the DC area! Ask, I’m not sure if the author has ADHD (not my business but this post is just very relatable to me as someone with ADHD with too many ideas and sometimes not as much follow through).

Thank you so much for reading!
I love this so much! Congrats on your new venture!
Thank you so much!
Ally, you sound like the exact opposite of someone who (just) likes the idea--you really did the work here!
