Reset & Refresh: An Analog Open House
The world won't stop moving, but you can.
Join us Friday, January 23rd and Saturday, January 24th for two days dedicated to slowing down, unplugging, and rediscovering the quiet joy of analog hobbies—across all three Cambridge Market businesses.
Stop the scroll. Start something real.
In a world of instant everything, we're celebrating things that take time: scratch-made food you can taste the care in, handwritten notes instead of texts, face-to-face conversations over coffee, books you hold in your hands.
Choose your atmosphere:
The Cafe: Lively buzz for real conversation—meet up with friends and catch up face-to-face
Mustard Seed Books: Quiet refuge for, reading, journaling, puzzles, and crafts
The Market: Shopping haven—fill your basket with intentional choices from 125+ local makers
Move between spaces at your own pace. This is your invitation to reset. To choose handmade over mass-produced. To choose presence over notifications. To choose slow over scroll.
