Flower Coffee Collective To Pour Its Last Cup Of Joe On Saturday

SILVER SPRING, VA — Flower Coffee Collective will be pouring its last cup of Joe at its mobile coffee shop at the end of business on Saturday, according to a post on the company's Facebook page.

"It's with a heavy heart that I tell you Flower Coffee is closing. ... While this iteration of my coffee journey is coming to a close, it is not the end of coffee in the Long Branch neighborhood," the post says. "Your individual and community support has made this particular coffee venture a success, and as we move forward I can’t wait to share what the future holds."

Flower Coffee Collective started with the renovation of a 1960 Nomad camper, according to the company's Instagram page. The camper would eventually park seven days a week at 8736 Flower Ave., in Silver Spring to sell coffee and pastries.

On its final day of operations, Flower Coffee Collective joins Councilmember Evan Glass in hosting a Drag Queen Story Hour with Citrine at 10 a.m., on Saturday, at the Flower Avene Urban Park.
