Cafe | Hair Salon | Gathering Place


Scissor & Fork was created to do things differently. Built by and for artists, this is a café and salon rooted in ethical labor, collective care, and community gathering. We reject burnout culture and extractive systems and instead choose intention, sustainability, and respect. This space exists because we believe a better way is not only possible but necessary.
The Scissor & Fork team is being built with intention. Our artists will be seasoned, appointment only stylists who value their craft, their time, and their autonomy. They are true artists who lead with skill, care, and integrity. Alongside them are creative baristas who approach coffee as both a practice and an art form. It is a collective of professionals who believe in ethical work, thoughtful service, and doing things with kindness at the backbone of it all.
Our menu features a variety of drinks made with locally roasted coffee and tea, and bites from small bakeries and pastry chefs. We also offer vegan and gluten-free options.
