Hi! I'm Hannah & I'm opening a coffee shop ❤️
The Campaign FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
When will you open up shop?
We're currently working through buildout of our brick & mortar space while continuing our efforts to secure additional capital to support the project. There are a lot of steps to take before we can welcome you into the space to see the entire vision, but we're hopeful that we'll be able to open by mid 2025. You can follow along with our progress through this page or by following us on IG @laulauatx. We promise to keep you in the loop as things keep moving forward!
I'm not able to provide any financial contribution at this time. Is there another way I can support Lau Lau?
Yes, absolutely! We completely understand that expendable income is a privilege and not everyone is in a position to contribute to our project financially at this time. There are so many other ways to support and we truly appreciate any effort. This could include sharing our campaign on socials, spreading the word about Lau Lau around Austin, or collaborating with us in another way that uses your craft or expertise. We are so grateful for all of it!
I contributed to a rewards tier. When will I receive it?
We're currently still in buildout stage, and our open date is not yet certain. As we move closer to opening, you will receive email updates with more information on when and how you can redeem your rewards. Thank you so much for your patience - we can't wait to celebrate with you in person soon!
I don't live in Austin, but I purchased a rewards tier to give to a friend. How can we make this happen?
This is such a good way to take advantage of rewards and spread the word - thank you! If you purchased a rewards tier with a gift for someone else, we will send your rewards voucher electronically for you to pass along. Please note that this will be delivered closer to our opening date.
