End of an Era: Hãnai Laveen’s Final Pour

August 14, 2024

It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of the closing of Hãnai Coffee + Cocktails in Laveen. Over the past two years, it has been our dream to create a beautiful space for the Laveen community to gather, while also providing crucial support and valuable work experience to local foster youth. We are forever grateful for the opportunity to fulfill that dream.

Unfortunately, the current economic climate has forced us to close this location. However, our commitment to Arizona’s foster youth remains unwavering. Our fully non-profit location, Hãnai Peoria City Hall, will continue to be a place of growth and opportunity, training, employing, and supporting young adults as they age out of the foster care system. We are now focused on expanding this program to reach even more young adults throughout the Valley.

We want to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who has been part of this journey with us. Hãnai would not have made it this far without the dedication of our manager, Savanna, the passion of every one of our amazing baristas and cooks, the collaboration with our local vendors, and most importantly, the unwavering support from you—our loyal friends in the Laveen community. You are the true reason we were able to serve out our mission.

Thank you, Laveen, for embracing Hãnai and helping us create something truly special.
