The opening day was on Valentine's Day 2024. Thanks to Rebecca Roland for this photo. It's of ten she included in her article about Pam's for Eater. "'The whole vision was let’s make it funky,' says Mayra Garcia, who works at the Vista Theater and Pam's Coffy. 'Let’s make it like two high school kids are putting together a little coffee shop.'"
