CHAPTER 7 : The Grand Re-Opening
There comes a moment in every journey when you stop looking at what still needs to be done…
…and simply enjoy where you’ve arrived.
After months of planning, building, revising, waiting, imagining, and sharing every step with you, we’re incredibly happy to finally say:
Welcome to the new home of Lucid.
Not just a new address.
Not simply a bigger café.
But a place that has been built with every lesson, every conversation, and every person who has become part of our story over the last two years.
Looking Back Without Looking Back
When we first began the Road to Puri Gading, we didn’t really know how this story would unfold.
We only knew one thing:
We wanted to bring everyone along.
That’s why every chapter wasn’t written to celebrate construction.
It was written to celebrate progress.
The excitement of hearing the first news.
Learning to enjoy the process.
Growing closer as a family.
Running errands that nobody usually notices.
Watching ideas slowly become reality.
Adding the final layers that gave the space its character.
Looking back now, we realize something beautiful.
None of those chapters were really about a building.
They were about becoming ready for this moment.
And Then…
The doors opened.
The first guests walked in.
Coffee began pouring again.
The kitchen found its rhythm.
Laughter returned to the dining room.
Conversations filled the air.
Suddenly, everything that once existed as drawings, discussions, measurements, and imagination became something wonderfully ordinary.
People enjoying brunch.
Friends catching up over coffee.
Families sharing a meal.
Someone discovering Lucid for the very first time.
Someone returning and saying,
“Wow… this still feels like Lucid.”
And honestly…
That’s probably the greatest compliment we could ever receive.
Bigger Space, Same Heart
Moving to Puri Gading was never about becoming something different.
It was about creating more room for everything we already loved.
More tables for conversations.
More space for families.
More corners for people working quietly over a cup of coffee.
More opportunities to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, ordinary Tuesdays, and life’s little victories.
Because that’s what cafés become over time.
They quietly become part of people’s routines.
And we’re grateful that Lucid gets to be part of yours.
Thank You for Walking This Road With Us
Whether you’ve been with us since our very first days…
Whether you’ve followed every chapter of this journey…
Or whether you’re only discovering Lucid today…
Thank you.
Thank you for every visit.
Every recommendation to a friend.
Every review.
Every smile across the counter.
Every conversation that reminded us why we do this.
Buildings are built with concrete and timber.
But cafés are built with people.
And this place already feels full of life because of you.
This Isn’t the End
Although this chapter marks the end of Road to Puri Gading, it doesn’t really feel like an ending.
It feels more like opening the first page of a new book.
There will be new menus to discover.
New celebrations to share.
New familiar faces to meet.
New memories waiting around every table.
And countless ordinary days that, somehow, become unforgettable.
That’s the kind of café we’ve always hoped to build.
Come See What We’ve Been Building Together
If you’ve been following this journey from Chapter 1 until today, thank you for taking every step with us.
If this is your first time hearing about Lucid, we’d love to welcome you too.
The coffee is ready.
The kitchen is open.
The chairs are finally filled.
And the home we’ve been building together is now ready to welcome everyone.
We’ll see you in Puri Gading.
Welcome home.
