This morning, the sign for Krew’s Books & Brews was installed, and the tears haven’t stopped 😭. I still can’t believe that this childhood dream has become a reality. Every day, I’m in awe of how far we’ve come, and none of it would have been possible without the incredible support of my husband, family, and friends—who have worked alongside me, offering their time, love, and even free labor. 💖

But most importantly, I owe this to YOU—our amazing community. Your unwavering support, kindness, and encouragement have been everything. This place is for you, for us. It’s a home for book lovers 📚, coffee sippers ☕, and those seeking a cozy place to connect. I’ve poured my heart and soul into every inch, and I hope you feel that when you step inside.

I can’t wait to celebrate with you at our grand opening in just one week! 🎉 See you next Friday @ 1413 W. Prien Lake Rd. Lake Charles (near Target)

With love,
Karri & the Krew’s Books & Brews Family
XOXO 💕

FURNITURE NEEDED

We open in 10 days and we are still trying to get the place ready! We decided to use easy to clean furniture in the cat room for rouge tinkles.

We are hoping that someone has a garden bench or some outdoor chairs that are just taking up space 🙃

If you have something you would like to donate or sell for a reasonable price, please message us!

🌎Happy birthday, Maria Montessori!🌞
August 31, 1870

On her 154th birthday, we celebrate the work of Dr. Montessori and her influence on our school and the world.

“The child is capable of developing and giving us tangible proof of the possibility of a better humanity. He has shown us the true process of construction of the human being. We have seen children totally change as they acquire a love for things and as their sense of order, discipline, and self-control develops within them.... The child is both a hope and a promise for mankind.”
