“They all have loved it,” Nicodemus said. “We have gotten more than what we had planned for, so we actually had to make extra donuts and extra coffees.”
She explained that the “Quarantine Cafe” was something special for her neighbors and a way for people to get out of their house during the stay-at-home order. People can receive a treat safely by staying in their cars, Nicodemus said.
“It’s the greatest thing,” one resident said as she received donuts and a coffee. The resident gave the family a tip for their kind gesture.
“Everyone’s been really into it and they really liked what we are doing,” Nicodemus said.
