That September began another journey. The I-95 corridor from the North to the South, nearly 1500 miles stretched out between beautiful cities and wide-open spaces, from Maine to Florida. Hope was bountiful, while intrigue captured most of our days. St. Augustine Florida now held its own hope while meetings and special moments kept us reaching for more and so it happened, December 21, 2020, Bar Harbor Cheesecake Company opened its second location at 6 Cordova St., St. Augustine, Florida. The Nights of Lights, Christmas in the air, the illumination of laughter and love, trolleys everywhere. People came, they saw, they tasted of our hopes and dreams… they entered the vision in the small bungalow that had chocolate walls and stories to tell. Everything about being here was right, and still the ocean called us into the deep. The spring and summer of 2021 encouraged our expansive skills and introduced even more flavors for the world to taste. People came from Europe, Africa, Asia… down the street, from California, Texas, Colorado, New York, Maine, everywhere. People followed our successes and even our mishaps too, still encouraging our work. By July of that year, both Bar Harbor and St. Augustine locations operated simultaneously throughout the summer of 2021 and into the fall. People from Florida found us in Maine and visited us with great delight. And to, the People from Maine found us in Florida and loved the way that we were… Christmas of 2021 rushed upon us like a Midwest snowstorm, still finding our excitement and our dreams very much alive, looking forward to each new day. Then in the quietness of one soft evening, decorations and nutcrackers arrived and filled the quaint dwelling of 6 Cordova St. with the beauty of Christmas. The display of lights throughout the city of St. Augustine again did not disappoint the masses who came to see the phenomenon of such a beautiful City, and still we served cheesecake. That Christmas we offered more of ourselves and listened intently to the chronicles of peoples lives. Weddings happened often, Birthday celebrations filled the rooms, while anniversaries of time passed together found gifts of cheesecake on pedestal of love. And yes, this is Love… Finally, here at the Love Tree, in St. Augustine, Florida we encourage your stories to impact our ever-evolving journey of life, embracing the change, capturing the moments that keep us humble, hopeful of the future that keep us together
