Apartment
Café

Apartment Café ran from 2015 to 2016 and was created by Sam Nabi and Sarah Pearson.

Pop-up culture is coming to the York! We’re opening our home to creative folks who want a place to work that isn’t their own home.

The podcast

  1. Welcome to our living room // 01

    Sarah and Sam chat about atmosphere and culture, feeling like a staff member in your own home, the daytime vs. after-work crowd, supporting local music, and how to deal with money.

    Music: "Sugar Mound" by Hank; "Fourteen Days" by Elsa Jayne

  2. Holding space // 02

    Sarah and Sam chat about codes of conduct, the difference between café culture and Apartment Café culture, a similar initiative in Seattle, the concept of holding space, and collaboration with the local business community.
