We are proud to welcome you to our new and improved website. I think you will agree that our new “home” is more user-friendly, easy to navigate and just plain inviting. You may never want to leave—and that’s fine! The new cafehelios.com is designed to keep you better updated on what’s happening at the café, from new product offerings to special events to explanations of our business and our mission. Look for blog entries from and about our baristas (who are the BEST in Raleigh), news from the Helios gardens, and other current topics. Please join in the conversation-we want to know what you think. Like everything at Helios, putting together the new cafehelios.com was a group effort with lots of input from “family” members, especially Tim Lytvinenko on the technical side and Juli Leonard for photography and design. Many, many thanks to these very talented folks.
I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank EVERYBODY who has made caféhelios such a unique, wonderful place. Now in our eighth year, Helios is a far cry from that modest coffee house of June 2002 when the first few random passers-by wandered in. Our growth has been a slow, evolutionary (and sometimes painful) process, but here we are- with a broad line of high quality products, by far the best, most professional staff that we have ever had, and customers who are simply amazing in their loyalty (and yes, patience) and diversity. The Helios family is truly a cross-section of the Raleigh community that the café was founded to serve. We are blessed.
