Future Expansion Plans
Brad Rauch, one of the founders of Steadfast Cafe, has expressed a desire to open more locations in the future. He aims to maintain a balance in the placement of these new cafes, opting not to cluster them too closely like some national chains, such as Starbucks.
A Space for the Community
Steadfast Cafe is designed to cultivate a sense of community, providing a space for locals to connect over coffee and food. It is clear that the Rauches want their cafe to be more than just a place to grab a drink; they envision it as a social hub where people can gather, relax, and enjoy each other’s company.
Operating Hours
The cafe operates Monday through Thursday from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., and Friday through Sunday from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m., offering ample opportunities for patrons to stop by for their morning coffee or an afternoon snack. Whether for a quick takeout or a leisurely stay, Steadfast Cafe aims to accommodate the busy schedules of its customers.
Background of Steadfast Cafe
Founded by Brad and Laura Rauch, Steadfast Cafe emerged from a passion for quality coffee and the desire to create a community-oriented space. The couple’s commitment to locally sourced products and crafted beverages has driven the success of their first location, setting the stage for their ambitious expansion into Long Beach.
As the new Steadfast Cafe opens in Long Beach, residents can look forward to an experience that not only satisfies their caffeine cravings but also fosters connections within the community.
