“May Day is an essential meeting place in the community, and I can always rely on seeing a familiar face when I stop in. May Day is where I run into old friends I haven't seen in years, get snacks for neighbors when they're sick, meet up to co-work, and catch up on local gossip. 

I know my delicious almond croissant and americano will taste even better when May Day becomes our neighborhood worker-owned coop.”

“I am so grateful for all the intention and care that the workers of May Day are putting into creating this coop, and am so excited to support our neighborhood coffee shop becoming a worker owned business! I'm so excited to go for even more muffins and egg sandwiches then ever before.”

“May Day is a community center. I can't count the number of organizing meetings, first dates, school papers, and hours-long conversations I've had at May Day. I love the diversity of patrons, the commitment to good quality, affordable treats and meals, and the warm run-ins with South Minneapolis community members. Our community has gone through a lot over the past several years and change will continue to come - we need to know this gathering space is sustainable for workers and patrons alike and I can think of no better way than as a cooperative!”
