Join us for a special biennial event, the 2026 Coffee House: Tides of Time, hosted by the SaddleBrooke Writers Group. This much-anticipated gathering celebrates the creativity and voices of our community, offering a welcoming space for our resident authors to share their work in a relaxed setting.
Throughout the evening, you’ll experience readings of original poetry, short fiction, memoirs, and more as our writers bring the power of storytelling to life. The Coffee House is both a showcase of SaddleBrooke’s literary talent and an opportunity to connect, listen, and be inspired by the diverse perspectives and stories that shape our community.
There will also be live piano music by Dan Bergquist, opportunities to browse or purchase books by the writers, and desserts and beverages to indulge in.
