The Welcome Table: Coffee & Connections

Forget "networking" and try "friending." If you’ve ever felt nervous walking into a room of strangers, this is for you.

I’ll be right at the door to greet you and introduce you to some truly wonderful people. No cold starts, no awkward silences—just good coffee and easy introductions.

We’re making it effortless. Show up, grab a latte, and let me introduce you to the group.

It’s a warm, inclusive space where no one is a stranger for long. Easier than you ever thought possible!

Notes: When you enter Bayou Heights Bier Garten, you’ll find the BHBG coffee shop on the left-hand side. I’ll be waiting at the tables directly in front of the coffee shop entrance. On the morning of the event, I’ll post in the group chat to let you know what I’m wearing so I’m easy to spot. Keep an eye on the chat for updates!

Parking situation:

• Your best bet for free parking is the retail center at 3939 Washington Ave, right by Buffalo Wild Wings. Once you park, just walk over to the next lot and you'll see us at the Bayou Heights Bier Garten!
• There is a small shared lot with BHBG Coffee. While technically offering free spots, they are very limited (reportedly around 20) and fill up quickly, especially on weekends.
• While there is a small on-site parking lot at Bayou Heights Bier Garten, it is often dominated by paid services or limited in availability.

Valet Parking: The immediate on-site lot frequently operates as a mandatory paid valet service, particularly on weekends and during busy hours. Prices have been reported around $5 to $10.

Limited Free Parking:
There are a very small number of free spots (reportedly fewer than 20), but these fill up almost immediately, especially on weekends.
